VRRP on a Master Router
This example shows how to configure the switch to support VRRP. Router 1 is the default
master router for the virtual route, and Router 2 is the backup router.
CLI: Configure VRRP on a Master Router
1. Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding will then be enabled by default.
2. Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will participate in the protocol.
3. Enable VRRP for the switch.
4. Assign virtual router IDs to port that will participate in the protocol.
5. Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. Note that the virtual IP
address on port 1/0/2 is the same as the port’s actual IP address therefore, this router will
always be the VRRP master when it is active. The default priority is 255.
6. Enable VRRP on the port.
