Configuring parameters specific to VRRP
VRRP is configured at the interface level. To implement a simple VRRP configuration using all the
default values, enter commands such as the following.
Configuring the owner
To configure the VRRP Owner router, enter the following commands on the router that will be the
Owner.
Router1(config)# router vrrp
Router1(config)# inter e 1/6
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip address 192.53.5.1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# owner
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
Syntax: router vrrp
Syntax: ip vrrp vrid <num>
Syntax: owner [track-priority <value>]
Syntax: activate
The track-priority <value> parameter changes the track-port priority for this interface and VRID
from the default (2) to a value from 1 – 254.
Syntax: ip-address <ip-addr>
The IP address you assign to the Owner must be an IP address configured on an interface that
belongs to the virtual router.
Refer to “Configuration rules for VRRP” on page 461 for additional requirements.
Configuring basic VRRP parameters
To implement a simple VRRP configuration using all the default values, enter commands such as
the following.
Track priority A VRRP or VRRPE priority value assigned to the tracked ports. If a
tracked port’s link goes down, the VRID port’s VRRP or VRRPE
priority changes.
• VRRP – The priority changes to the value of the tracked
port’s priority.
• VRRPE – The VRID port’s priority is reduced by the amount of
the tracked port’s priority.
VRRP – 2
VRRPE – 5

Backup preempt
mode
Prevents a Backup with a higher VRRP priority from taking control
of the VRID from another Backup that has a lower priority but has
already assumed control of the VRID.
