Current value:
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> interface
b. Set the interface, for example:
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> interface /network/interface/eth2
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
c. Repeat for additional interfaces.
6. Set the router ID. The Router IDmust be the same on all VRRPdevicesthat participate in the
same VRRPdevice pool. Allowed values are from 1 and 255, and it isconfigured to 50 by
default.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> router_id int
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
7. Set the priority for this router in the group. Therouter with the highest priority will be used as
the master router. If the master router fails, then the IPaddress of the virtual router is mapped
to the backup device with the next highest priority. If thisdevice's actual IPaddress is being
used asthe virtual IPaddressof the VRRPpool, then the priority of this device should be set to
255 . Allowed values are from 1 and 255, and it isconfigured to 100 by default.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> priority int
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
8. (Optional) Set a password that will be used to authenticate this VRRProuter with VRRPpeers. If
the password length exceeds 8 characters, it will be truncated to 8 characters.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> password pwd
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
9. Add a virtual IPaddressassociated with this VRRPinstance. This can be an IPv4 or IPv6
address.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> add virtual_address end ip_address
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
Additional virtual IPaddressescan be added by repeating thisstep with different values for ip_
address.
10. Save the configuration and apply the change
(config network vrrp new_vrrp_instance)> save
Configuration saved.
