By default, VRRP is not configured.
Configuration Task List for VRRP
The following list specifies the configuration tasks for VRRP:
• Create a Virtual Router (mandatory)
• Assign Virtual IP addresses (mandatory)
• Set VRRP Group (Virtual Router) Priority (optional)
• Configure VRRP Authentication (optional)
• Disable Preempt (optional)
• Change the Advertisement interval (optional)
• Track an Interface or Object (optional)

Create a Virtual Router
To enable VRRP, you must create a Virtual Router. In FTOS, a VRRP Group is identified by the Virtual
Router Identifier (VRID).
To enable a Virtual Router, use the following command in the INTERFACE mode. To delete a VRRP
group, use the
no vrrp-group vrid command in the INTERFACE mode.
Figure 55-2. Command Example: vrrp-group
Task Command Syntax Command Mode
Create a virtual router for that interface
with a VRID.

Note: The interface must already have a Primary IP Address defined, and
be enabled.
