virtual router ID and an IP address. On each VRRP-capable routing device participating in redundancy for this virtual 
router, a virtual router will be configured to share the same virtual router ID and IP address.  
The following table describes the Virtual Router Group Configuration Menu options.  
Table 153  Virtual Router Group Configuration Menu options 
Command Description 
track 
Displays the VRRP Priority Tracking Menu for the virtual router group. Tracking 
is a proprietary extension to VRRP, used for modifying the standard priority 
system used for electing the master router. 
 
vrid <1-255>  
Defines the virtual router ID. 
The 
vrid for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is not 
the same as any virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 255. All 
vrid values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual router’s IP 
interface (see 
if below) belongs. The default virtual router ID is 1. 
if <1-256> 
Selects a switch IP interface. The default switch IP interface number is 1. 
prio <1-254>  
Defines the election priority bias for this virtual router group. This can be any 
integer between 1 and 254. The default value is 100. 
During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest 
virtual router priority number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP 
interface address wins. If this virtual router’s IP address (
addr) is the same as 
the one used by the IP interface, the priority for this virtual router will 
automatically be set to 255 (highest). 
When priority tracking is used (
/cfg/l3/vrrp/track or 
/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track
), this base priority value can be modified 
according to a number of performance and operational criteria. 
adver <1-255> 
Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any 
integer between 1 and 255 seconds. The default is 1.  
preem disable|enable 
Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if the virtual router 
group is in backup mode but has a higher priority than the current master, this 
virtual router will preempt the lower priority master and assume control. Note 
that even when 
preem is disabled, this virtual router will always preempt any 
other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface address and virtual 
router 
addr are the same). By default, this option is enabled. 
ena 
Enables the virtual router group. 
dis 
Disables the virtual router group. 
del 
Deletes the virtual router group from the switch configuration. 
cur  Displays the current configuration information for the virtual router group.

option. The tracking setting for the other individual virtual routers will be ignored.
