NOTE
The accept mode functionality does not support ssh packets.
1. On the device designated as a backup VRRP device, from privileged EXEC mode, enter conguration mode by issuing the
congure terminal command.
device# configure terminal
2. Globally enable the VRRP protocol.
device(config)# router vrrp
3.
Congure the ethernet interface link.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/5
4.
Congure the IP address of the interface. All devices congured for the same virtual router ID (VRID) must be on the same
subnet.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ip address 10.53.5.3/24
5. Assign this backup device to VRID 1, the same VRID as the VRRP owner device.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ip vrrp vrid 1
NOTE
You can assign a VRID number in the range of 1 through 255.
6. Designate this router as a backup VRRP device.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# backup priority 110
While conguring a backup device, you can set a priority that is used when a master VRRP device goes oine. The backup
device with the highest priority will assume the role of master device.
7. Enable accept mode for this device.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# accept-mode
8. Exit out of conguration modes and return to privileged EXEC mode.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# end
