Command History
Usage Guidelines You enter the Virtual Router configuration submode to access the options for this command. From the
VSAN or mgmt0 (management) interface configuration submode, enter vrrp number to enter the
switch(config-if-vrrp)# prompt. By default, a virtual router is always disabled (shutdown). VRRP
can be configured only if this state is disabled. Be sure to configure at least one IP address before
attempting to enable a virtual router.
The total number of of VRRP groups that can be configured on a Gigabit Ethernet port, including main
interfaces and subinterfaces, cannot exceed seven. This limitation applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 groups.
Note If you configure secondary VRRP IPv6 addresses on an IPFC VSAN interface, you must remove the
secondary VRRP IPv6 addresses before downgrading to a release prior to Cisco Release 3.0(1). This is
required only when you configure IPv6 addresses.
For additional information about VRRP, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
