Configuring VRRP on a virtual interface

  1. On a VLAN, choose VLAN > VLANs > Basic > VRRP.
  2. The VLAN IP dialog box opens and the VRRP tab is displayed.

  3. Select the VLAN and click IP.
  4. In the VRRP tab, click Insert.
  5. The VLAN - Insert VRRP dialog box opens.

The parameters in the Port - VRRP tab and the VLAN IP - VRRP tab, and their respective Insert VRRP dialog boxes are the same.

Table 92 describes the parameters in the VRRP tab and Insert VRRP dialog box.


Field Description
Vrid
A number that uniquely identifies a virtual router on a given VRRP router. The virtual router acts as the default router for one or more assigned addresses (1 to 255).
IpAddr
IP address of the virtual router interface.
VirtualMacAddr
MAC address of the virtual router interface.
State
The state of the virtual router interface:
  • initialize: waiting for a startup event
  • backup: monitoring availability and state of the master router
  • master: functioning as the forwarding router for the virtual router IP address(es)
Control
Whether VRRP is enabled or disabled for the port or VLAN.
Priority
Priority value to be used by this VRRP router. Set a value from 1 to 255, where 255 is reserved for the router that owns the IP addresses associated with the virtual router. The default is 100.
MasterIpAddr
The IP address of the physical interface of the master virtual router that has the responsibility of forwarding packets sent to the virtual IP address(es) associated with the virtual router.
Advertisement
Interval

The time interval (in seconds) between sending advertisement messages. Set from 1 to 255 seconds with a default of 1 second. Only the master router sends advertisements.
VirtualRouter
UpTime

The time interval (in hundredths of a second) since the virtual router was initialized.
CriticalIPAddr
An IP interface on the local router configured so that a change in its state would cause a role switch in the virtual router (for example, from master to backup) in case the interface stops responding.
HoldDownTimer
The time interval (in seconds) a router is delayed when changing to master state.
