Usage Guidelines

You can configure VRRP only if its state is disabled. Make sure that you configure at least one IP address before you attempt to enable a virtual router.

Examples

This example shows how to create a VRRP group:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# vrrp 7
switch(config-if-vrrp)#
 

This example shows how to create a VRRP group and configure an IPv4 address for the group:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# vrrp 7
switch(config-if-vrrp)# address 10.0.0.10
switch(config-if-vrrp)# no shutdown
switch(config-if-vrrp)#
