Default level

2: System level

Parameters

load-balance: Specifies VRRP to work in load balancing mode.

Description

Use the vrrp mode command to configure the VRRP working mode.

Use the undo vrrp mode command to restore the default.

By default, VRRP works in standard protocol mode.

· When you configure the working mode of VRRP by using this command, both IPv4-based and IPv6-based VRRP groups work in the specified mode.

· When VRRP works in load balancing mode, the virtual IP address cannot be the same as the IP address of any interface in the VRRP group, and the virtual IP address should be mapped to the virtual MAC address. Otherwise, VRRP cannot work in load balancing mode.

· When a VRRP group is created, you can still change the VRRP working mode. When you change the VRRP working mode, all VRRP groups on the router work in the specified mode.

2: System level

Parameters

vid vlan-id: Outer VLAN ID, which ranges from 1 to 4094.

secondary-dot1q secondary-vlan-id: Inner VLAN ID. The secondary-vlan-id argument ranges from 1 to 4094.

Description

Use the vrrp dot1q command to specify a VRRP control VLAN for the subinterface configured with VLAN termination.

Use the undo vrrp dot1q command to restore the default.

By default, no VRRP control VLAN is specified for the subinterface configured with VLAN termination. In other words, the master sends VRRP advertisements within all VLANs whose VLAN packets are configured to be terminated by the subinterface.

If you re-execute the command, the latest configuration overwrites the previous one.

This command is supported on only Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces and Layer 3 aggregation subinterfaces.

Examples

# Specify the outer VLAN ID and inner VLAN ID for the VRRP control VLAN as 2 and 100 respectively.

Parameters

real-mac: Maps the real MAC address of the interface to the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

virtual-mac: Maps the virtual MAC address to the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

Description

Use the vrrp method command to specify the type of the MAC addresses mapped to the virtual IP addresses of the VRRP groups.

Use the undo vrrp method command to restore the default.

By default, the virtual MAC addresses are mapped to the virtual IP addresses of the VRRP groups.

Specify the type of the MAC addresses mapped to the virtual IP address before creating a VRRP group. Otherwise, you cannot change the type of the MAC address by using this command. .

When VRRP works in load balancing mode, a virtual IP address is always mapped to a virtual MAC address regardless of which type of the MAC addresses to be mapped to the virtual IP address is specified.

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

None

Description

Use the vrrp un-check ttl command to disable TTL check on VRRP packets.

Use the undo vrrp un-check ttl command to enable TTL check on VRRP packets.

By default, TTL check on VRRP packets is enabled.

The master of a VRRP group periodically sends VRRP advertisements to indicate its existence. The VRRP advertisements are multicast onto the local network segment and not forwarded by a router, and therefore the packet TTL value will not be changed. When the master of a VRRP group advertises VRRP packets, it sets the packet TTL to 255. After you configure to check the VRRP packet TTL, when the backups of the VRRP group receive VRRP packets, they check the packet TTL and drop the VRRP packets whose TTL is smaller than 255 to prevent attacks from other network segments.

Because devices of different vendors might implement VRRP in a different way, when the device is interoperating with devices of other vendors, VRRP packet TTL check might result in dropping packets that should not be dropped. In this case, use the vrrp un-check ttl command to disable TTL check on VRRP packets.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

md5: Authentication using the MD5 algorithm.

simple: Plain text authentication mode.

key: Authentication key, which is case-sensitive.

· When md5 authentication applies, the authentication key is in MD5 cipher text or in plain text and the length of the key depends on its input format. If the key is input in plain text, its length is 1 to 8 characters, such as 1234567. If the key is input in cipher text, its length must be 24 characters, such as _(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.

· When simple authentication applies, the authentication key is in plain text with a length of 1 to 8 characters.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid authentication-mode command to configure authentication mode and authentication key for a VRRP group to send and receive VRRP packets.

Use the undo vrrp vrid authentication-mode command to restore the default.

By default, authentication is disabled.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

You might configure different authentication modes and authentication keys for the VRRP groups on an interface. However, the members of the same VRRP group must use the same authentication mode and authentication key.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: Virtual router ID or VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

timer delay delay-value: Sets preemption delay. The delay-value argument ranges from 0 to 255 seconds and defaults to 0 seconds.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid preempt-mode command to enable preemption on the router and configure its preemption delay in the specified VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp vrid preempt-mode command to disable preemption on the router in the specified VRRP group, that is, specify the router to work in the non-preemptive mode.

Use the undo vrrp vrid preempt-mode timer delay command to restore the default preemption delay, that is, zero seconds.

The default mode is immediate preemption without delay.

To avoid frequent member state changes in a VRRP group and make the backups have enough time to collect information (such as routing information), each backup waits for a period of time (the preemption delay time) after it receives an advertisement with the priority lower than the local priority, then sends VRRP advertisements to start a new master election in the VRRP group and becomes the master.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

priority-value: Priority value of the router in the specified VRRP group, which ranges from 1 to 254. A higher number indicates a higher priority.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid priority command to configure the priority of the router in the specified VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp vrid priority command to restore the default.

By default, the priority of a router in a VRRP group is 100.

· Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

· The role that a router plays in a VRRP group depends on its priority. A higher priority means that the router is more likely to become the master. Priority 0 is reserved for special use and 255 for the IP address owner.

· If the router is the IP address owner, its priority is always 255. Therefore, it remains as the master so long as it is functioning normally.

Examples

# Set the priority of the router in VRRP group 1 to 150.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

adver-interval: Interval at which the master in the specified VRRP group sends VRRP advertisements. It ranges from 1 to 255 seconds.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid timer advertise command to configure the Adver_Timer of the specified VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp vrid timer advertise command to restore the default.

By default the Adver_Timer is 1 second.

The Adver_Timer controls the interval at which the master sends VRRP packets.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

Routers in the same VRRP group must use the same Adver_Timer setting.

Related commands: display vrrp.

Examples

# Set the master in VRRP group 1 to send VRRP advertisements at intervals of five seconds.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: Specifies a VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

track track-entry-number: Specifies a track entry. The track-entry-number argument ranges from 1 to 1024.

reduced priority-reduced: Reduces the priority of the router in the VRRP group by a specific value when the state of the specified track entry changes to the negative state. The priority-reduced argument ranges from 1 to 255.

switchover: Enables the router in backup state to take over as the master immediately after the specified track entry changes to the negative state.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid track command to associate a VRRP group with a track entry and control master switchover in the VRRP group in response to changes (such as uplink state changes) detected by the track entry.

Use the undo vrrp vrid track command to remove the association between a VRRP group and a track entry. If no track entry is specified, the association between the VRRP group and any track entry is removed.

By default, a VRRP group is not associated with any track entry.

When the associated track entry changes to the negative state, the priority of the router in the VRRP group decreases by a specified value, or the router immediately takes over as the master if it is a backup router, depending on your configuration.

If neither reduced priority-reduced nor switchover is specified, the priority of the router in the VRRP group decreases by 10 when the track entry changes to negative.

When the track entry changes from negative to positive or invalid, the router automatically restores its priority.

IMPORTANT:

You must create the VRRP group and assign a virtual IP address to it before you can associate it with any track entry.

The vrrp vrid track command cannot take effect on an IP address owner. If you have configured the command on an IP address owner, the configuration takes effect after the router changes to be a non IP address owner.

You can create a track entry with the track command before or after you associate it with a VRRP group. For more information about configuring track entries, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

# Associate VRRP group 1 on GigabitEthernet 3/1/10 with track entry 1 and decrease the priority of the router in the VRRP group by 50 when the state of track entry 1 changes to negative.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface to be tracked by its type and number.

reduced priority-reduced: Value by which the priority decrements. priority-reduced ranges from 1 to 255 and defaults to 10.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid track interface command to configure to track the specified interface.

Use the undo vrrp vrid track interface command to disable tracking the specified interface.

By default, no interface is tracked.

When the uplink interface of a router in a VRRP group fails, usually the VRRP group cannot be aware of the uplink interface failure. If the router is the master of the VRRP group, hosts on the LAN are not able to access external networks because of the uplink failure. This problem can be solved through tracking a specified uplink interface. After you configure to monitor the uplink interface, when the uplink interface is down or removed, the priority of the master is automatically decreased by a specified value, allowing a higher priority router in the VRRP group to become the master.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

If you configure an interface to be tracked on a router that is the IP address owner in a VRRP group, the configuration does not take effect. If the router is not the IP address owner in the VRRP group later, the configuration takes effect.

When the status of the tracked interface turns from down or removed to up, the corresponding router automatically restores its priority.

The interface specified in this command can be a Layer 3 Ethernet interface, a VLAN interface, a Layer 3 aggregate interface, a POS interface, an MP-group interface, an HDLC link bundle interface, or an RPR logical interface.

Related commands: display vrrp.

Examples

# On interface GigabitEthernet 3/1/10, set the interface to be tracked as Serial 2/1/1/1:0 making the priority of VRRP group 1 on interface GigabitEthernet 3/1/10 decrement by 50 when Serial 2/1/1/1:0 is down or removed.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

virtual-address: Virtual IP address.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid virtual-ip command to create a VRRP group, and configure a virtual IP address for it, or, add another virtual IP address for an existing VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp vrid virtual-ip command to remove an existing VRRP group or the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

By default, no VRRP group is created.

The system removes a VRRP group after you delete all the virtual IP addresses in it.

The virtual IP address of a VRRP group cannot be 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, loopback address, non A/B/C address and other illegal IP addresses such as 0.0.0.1.

A VRRP group operates normally only when the configured virtual IP address and the interface IP address belong to the same segment and are legal host addresses. If they are not in the same network segment, or the configured IP address is the network address or network broadcast address of the network segment to which the interface IP address belongs, though you can perform the configuration successfully, the state of the VRRP group is always Initialize, which means VRRP does not take effect .

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

track track-entry-number: Specifies a track entry to be monitored by its number. track-entry-number ranges from 1 to 1024.

reduced weight-reduced: Specifies the value by which the weight decreases. priority-reduced ranges from 1 to 255 and defaults to 30.

Description

Use the vrrp vrid weight track command to specify the track entry to be monitored by VFs when VRRP works in load balancing mode. If the status of the monitored track entry changes to negative, the weights of all VFs in the VRRP group to which the current router belongs decrease by a specified value.

Use the undo vrrp vrid weight track command to remove the specified track entry.

By default, no track entry is specified to be monitored.

· The command is effective only when VRRP works in load balancing mode.

· Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

· When the status of the monitored track entry turns from negative to positive or invalid, the corresponding VFs automatically restore their weights.

· The track entry specified in this command can be nonexistent. You can use the vrrp vrid weight track command to specify a track entry, and then create the track entry using the track command.

· By default, the weight of a VF is 255, and its lower limit of failure is 10.

· If the weight of a VF owner is higher than or equal to the lower limit of failure, the priority of the VF owner is always 255 and does not change with the weight value. Therefore, if an uplink fails, another VF takes over the VF owner's work and becomes the AVF only when the weight of the VF owner decreases by a properly specified value and becomes lower than the lower limit of failure, which means the weight of the VF owner decreases by more than 245.

NOTE:

For more information about track entries, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Related commands: display vrrp.

# Configure to monitor track entry 1, making the weights of VFs belonging to VRRP group 1 on GigabitEthernet 3/1/10 decrease by 50 when track entry 1 turns to negative.

reset vrrp ipv6 statistics

Syntax

reset vrrp ipv6 statistics [ interface interface-type interface-number [ vrid virtual-router-id ] ]

View

User view

Default level

1: Monitor level

Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Clears VRRP group statistics of a specific interface. interface-type interface-number specifies an interface by its type and number.

vrid virtual-router-id: Clears VRRP statistics of the specified VRRP group. virtual-router-id specifies a VRRP group by its group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

Description

Use the reset vrrp ipv6 statistics command to clear VRRP group statistics.

If you specify both an interface and a VRRP group, the statistics about the specified VRRP group on the specified interface are cleared. If you specify only an interface, the statistics about all the VRRP groups on the interface are cleared. If you specify neither, the statistics about all the VRRP groups on the router are cleared.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6 statistics.

Examples

# Clear the statistics about all the VRRP groups on the router.

vrrp ipv6 method { real-mac | virtual-mac }

undo vrrp ipv6 method

View

System view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

real-mac: Maps the real MAC address of the interface to the virtual IPv6 addresses of VRRP groups.

virtual-mac: Maps the virtual MAC addresses to the virtual IPv6 addresses of VRRP groups.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 method command to specify the type of the MAC addresses mapped to the virtual IPv6 addresses of the VRRP groups.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 method command to restore the default.

By default, the virtual MAC addresses are mapped to the virtual IP addresses of the VRRP groups.

Specify the type of the MAC addresses mapped to the virtual IPv6 addresses before creating a VRRP group. Otherwise, you cannot change the type of the MAC address by using this command.

When VRRP works in load balancing mode, a virtual IPv6 address is always mapped to a virtual MAC address regardless of which type of the MAC addresses to be mapped to the virtual IP addresses is specified.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

simple: Sets the authentication mode to plain text authentication.

key: Authentication key of 1 to 8 case-sensitive characters in plain text.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid authentication-mode command to configure authentication mode and authentication key for the VRRP groups to send and receive VRRP packets.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid authentication-mode command to restore the default.

By default, authentication is disabled.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

You might configure different authentication types and authentication keys for the VRRP groups on an interface. However, the members of the same VRRP group must use the same authentication mode and authentication key.

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

virtual-router-id: Virtual router ID or VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

timer delay delay-value: Sets preemption delay. The delay-value argument ranges from 0 to 255 seconds and defaults to 0 seconds.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid preempt-mode command to configure preemption on the router and configure its preemption delay in the specified VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid preempt-mode command to disable preemption on the router in the specified VRRP group, that is, specify the router to work in the non-preemptive mode.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid preempt-mode timer delay command to restore the default preemption delay, or, 0 seconds.

The default mode is immediate preemption without delay.

If you set the router in the VRRP group to work in non-preemptive mode, the delay period automatically changes to zero seconds.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6.

Examples

# Enable preemption on the router in VRRP group 80 and set the preemption delay to five seconds.

undo vrrp ipv6 vrid virtual-router-id priority

View

Interface view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

priority-value: Priority value of the router in the specified VRRP group, which ranges from 1 to 254. A higher number indicates a higher priority.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid priority command to configure the priority of the router in the specified VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid priority command to restore the default.

By default, the priority of a router in a VRRP group is 100.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group.

The role that a router plays in a VRRP group depends on its priority. A higher priority means that the router is more likely to become the master. Priority 0 is reserved for special use and 255 for the IP address owner.

If the router is the IP address owner, its priority is always 255. Therefore, it remains as the master as long as it is functioning normally.

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

adver-interval: Interval at which the master in the specified VRRP group sends VRRP advertisements. It ranges from 100 to 4095 centiseconds.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid timer advertise command to configure the Adver_Timer of the specified VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid timer advertise command to restore the default.

By default the Adver_Timer is 100 centiseconds.

The Adver_Timer controls the interval at which the master sends VRRP packets.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group.

Routers in the same VRRP group must use the same Adver_Timer setting.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6.

Examples

# Set the master in VRRP group 1 to send VRRP advertisements at intervals of 500 centiseconds.

View

Interface view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

virtual-router-id: Specifies a VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

track track-entry-number: Specifies a track entry. The track-entry-number argument ranges from 1 to 1024.

switchover: Enables the router in backup state to take over as the master immediately after the specified track entry changes to the negative state.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid track command to associate an IPv6 VRRP group with a track entry and control master switchover in the VRRP group in response to changes (such as uplink state changes) detected by the track entry.

Use the undo ipv6 vrrp vrid track command to remove the association between an IPv6 VRRP group and a track entry. If no track entry is specified, the association between the VRRP group and any track entry is removed.

By default, an IPv6 VRRP group is not associated with any track entry.

If neither reduced priority-reduced nor switchover is specified, the priority of the router in the VRRP group decreases by 10 when the track entry changes to negative.

When the track entry changes from negative to positive or invalid, the router automatically restores its priority.

IMPORTANT:

You must create the VRRP group and assign a virtual IP address to it before you can associate it with any track entry.

The vrrp ipv6 vrid track command cannot take effect on an IP address owner. If you have configured the command on an IP address owner, the configuration takes effect after the router changes to be a non IP address owner.

You can create a track entry with the track command before or after you associate it with an IPv6 VRRP group. For more information about configuring track entries, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6.

Examples

# Associate IPv6 VRRP group 1 on GigabitEthernet 3/1/10 with track entry 1 and decrease the priority of the router in the VRRP group by 50 when the state of track entry 1 changes to negative.

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

reduced priority-reduced: Value by which the priority decrements. priority-reduced ranges from 1 to 255 and defaults to 10.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid track interface command to configure to track the specified interface.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid track interface command to disable tracking the specified interface.

By default, no interface is being tracked.

When the uplink interface of a router in a VRRP group fails, usually the VRRP group cannot be aware of the uplink interface failure. If the router is the master of the VRRP group, hosts on the LAN are not able to access external networks because of the uplink failure. This problem can be solved by the tracking a specified uplink interface. When the uplink interface is down or removed, the priority of the master is automatically decreased by a specified value, allowing a higher priority router in the VRRP group to become the master.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group.

When the status of the tracked interface turns from down or removed to up, the corresponding router restores its priority automatically.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6.

Examples

# On interface GigabitEthernet 3/1/10, set the interface to be tracked to Serial 2/1/1/1:0, making the priority of VRRP group 1 on interface GigabitEthernet 3/1/10 decrement by 50 when Serial 2/1/1/1:0 is down or removed.

2: System level

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

virtual-address: Virtual IPv6 address.

link-local: Indicates that the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group is a link local address.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid virtual-ip command to create a VRRP group, and configure a virtual IPv6 address for it, or, add another virtual IPv6 address for an existing VRRP group.

Use the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid virtual-ip command to remove an existing VRRP group or the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group.

By default, no VRRP group is created.

The first virtual IPv6 address assigned to a VRRP group must be a link local address and only one such address is allowed in a VRRP group.

After you remove all virtual IPv6 addresses, the VRRP group is automatically removed. The first address assigned to the group must be removed the last.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6.

vrrp ipv6 vrid weight track

Syntax

vrrp ipv6 vrid virtual-router-id weight track track-entry-number [ reduced weight-reduced ]

undo vrrp ipv6 vrid virtual-router-id weight track [ track-entry-number ]

View

Interface view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

track track-entry-number: Specifies a track entry to be monitored by its number. track-entry-number ranges from 1 to 1024.

reduced weight-reduced: Specifies the value by which the weight decreases. priority-reduced ranges from 1 to 255 and defaults to 30.

Description

Use the vrrp ipv6 vrid weight track command to specify the track entry to be monitored by VFs when VRRP works in the load balancing mode. If the status of the monitored track entry changes to negative the weights of the all VFs in the VRRP group to which the current router belongs decrease by a specified value.

Use the undo ipv6 vrrp vrid weight track command to cancel the specified track entry.

By default, no track entry is specified to be monitored.

The command is effective only when VRRP works in load balancing mode.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group.

When the status of the monitored track entry turns from negative to positive or invalid, the corresponding VFs automatically restore their weights.

The track entry specified in this command can be nonexistent. You can use the vrrp ipv6 vrid weight track command to specify a track entry, and then create the track entry with the track command.

By default, the weight of a VF is 255, and its lower limit of failure is 10.

If the weight of a VF owner is higher than or equal to the lower limit of failure, the priority of the VF owner is always 255 and does not change with the weight value. Therefore, when an uplink fails, another VF takes over the VF owner's work and becomes the AVF only when the weight of the VF owner decreases by a properly specified value and becomes lower than the lower limit of failure, which means the weight of the VF owner decreases by more than 245.

NOTE:

For more information about track entries, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Related commands: display vrrp ipv6.

Examples

# Configure to monitor track entry 1, making the weights of VFs that belong to VRRP group 1 on GigabitEthernet 3/1/10 decrease by 50 when track entry 1 turns to negative.
