Configuring an mVRRP6 Group

Context

Each VRRP6 group needs to maintain its own state machine. Configuring an mVRRP6 group reduces bandwidth occupied by VRRP6 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. (Optional) Run vrrp6 vrid virtual-router-id virtual-ip virtual-ipv6-address [ link-local ]

    A VRRP6 group is created, and a virtual IPv6 address is assigned to the VRRP6 group.

    By default, no VRRP6 group is created.

  5. Run admin-vrrp6 vrid virtual-router-id

    The VRRP6 group is configured as an mVRRP6 group.

    By default, no mVRRP6 group is configured.
