Configuring an mVRRP Group

Context

Each VRRP group needs to maintain its own state machine. Configuring an mVRRP group reduces bandwidth occupied by VRRP Advertisement packets.

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The interface view is displayed.

3. (Optional) On an Ethernet interface, run undo portswitch

   The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode.

   By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode.

   

   Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support switching between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes.

4. Run vrrp vrid virtual-router-id virtual-ip virtual-address

   A VRRP group is created, and a virtual IP address is assigned to the VRRP group.

   By default, no VRRP group is created.

5. Run admin-vrrp vrid virtual-router-id

   The VRRP group is configured as an mVRRP group.

   By default, no mVRRP group is configured.
