Router Redundancy Using XRRP 
Configuring XRRP 
Note  For every VLAN on which you wish to run XRRP, you must first configure the 
VLAN with an IP address. 
Enabling and Disabling XRRP 
Syntax:  [no] xrrp 
Once you have completed the XRRP customization, as described in the 
previous section, use the xrrp command by itself to enable XRRP opera-
tion on the switch for all VLANs on which XRRP has been configured. Use 
the no xrrp command to disable all XRRP operation on the switch. 
Configuration Rules 
■  XRRP can be configured only on statically configured IP VLANs. VLANs 
automatically created by GVRP cannot be used. 
■  XRRP cannot be configured on the management VLAN or on any VLAN 
that gets its IP address through DHCP or Bootp. 
■  XRRP must be disabled before the Protection Domain number or the 
router number configuration can be changed. Use the no xrrp command 
to disable XRRP. 
■  Dynamic reconfiguration – You should be aware that although XRRP can 
be reconfigured while it is running, dynamic configurations can lead to 
inconsistency between the two routers while the configuration changes 
are in progress. This will potentially result in error log messages until the 
configurations are consistent (for example, matched IP addresses for 
primary on one side and secondary on the other). To avoid these logs, 
disable XRRP while changing its configuration. 
Use the no xrrp command to disable XRRP.
