Monitoring VRRP
To set the advertisement interval to 3 seconds:
Setting Pre-empt Mode
When a Master router goes down, the Backup with the highest priority takes over the IP
addresses associated with the Master. By default, when the original Master comes back up
again, it takes over from the Backup router that assumed its role as Master. When a VRRP
router does this, it is said to be in pre-empt mode. Pre-empt mode is enabled by default on
the XP. You can prevent a VRRP router from taking over from a lower-priority Master by
disabling pre-empt mode. To do this, enter the following command in Configure mode:
To prevent a Backup router from taking over as Master from a Master router that has a
lower priority:
Note: If the IP address owner is available, then it will always take over as the Master,
regardless of whether pre-empt mode is on or off.
Setting an Authentication Key
By default, no authentication of VRRP packets is performed on the XP. You can specify a
clear-text password to be used to authenticate VRRP exchanges. To enable authentication,
enter the following command in Configure mode
To authenticate VRRP exchanges on virtual router 1 on interface int1 with a password of
‘yago’:
Note: The XP does not currently support the IP Authentication Header method of
authentication.
Monitoring VRRP
The XP provides two commands for monitoring a VRRP configuration: ip-redundancy
trace, which displays messages when VRRP events occur, and ip-redundancy show,
which reports statistics about virtual routers.
ssr(config)# ip-redundancy set vrrp 1 interface int1 adv-interval 3
ssr(config)# ip-redundancy set vrrp 1 interface int1 preempt-mode disabled
ssr(config)# ip-redundancy set vrrp 1 interface int1 auth-type text auth-key yago
