Foundry Configuration Guide for the FESX, FSX, and FWSX

The priority parameter establishes the router’s VRRP priority in relation to the other VRRP router(s) in this virtual
router. The track-priority parameter specifies the new VRRP priority that the router receives for this VRID if the
interface goes down. See “Track Ports and Track Priority” on page 22-5.
The activate command activates the VRID configuration on this interface. The interface does not provide backup
service for the virtual IP address until you activate the VRRP configuration.

VRRPE Example
To implement the VRRPE configuration shown in Figure 22.3 on page 22-7, use the following CLI method.
Configuring Router1
To configure VRRP Router1 in Figure 22.3 on page 22-7, enter the following commands:
Router1(config)# router vrrp-extended
Router1(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Router1(config-if-1/6)# ip address 192.53.5.2/24
Router1(config-if-1/6)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# backup priority 110 track-priority 20
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 2/4
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.254
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 1 for this interface is activating
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# exit
Router1(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Router1(config-if-1/6)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 2
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# backup priority 100 track-priority 20
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 2/4
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.253
Router1(config-if-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 2 for this interface is activating
NOTE: The address you enter with the ip-address command cannot be the same as a real IP address
configured on the interface.
Configuring Router2
To configure Router2, enter the following commands:
Router1(config)# router vrrp-extended
Router1(config)# interface ethernet 5/1
Router1(config-if-5/1)# ip address 192.53.5.3/24
Router1(config-if-5/1)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Router1(config-if-5/1-vrid-1)# backup priority 100 track-priority 20
Router1(config-if-5/1-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 3/2
Router1(config-if-5/1-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.254
Router1(config-if-5/1-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 1 for this interface is activating
Router1(config-if-5/1-vrid-1)# exit
