Configuring a VRRP6 Group and Binding It to an mVRRP6 Group

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The view of the interface where a VRRP6 group is configured 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 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.

   Because the mVRRP6 group determines the status of its member VRRP6 groups, you do not need to set priorities for the member VRRP6 groups.

5. Run vrrp6 vrid virtual-router-id1 track admin-vrrp6 interface interface-type interface-number vrid virtual-router-id2 unflowdown

   The VRRP6 group is bound to an mVRRP6 group.

   By default, no VRRP6 group is bound to an mVRRP6 group.

   After the binding is complete, the state machine of the bound VRRP6 group depends on the status of the mVRRP6 group. That is, the bound VRRP6 group inherits the status of the mVRRP6 group, deletes its VRRP6 Advertisement packet timeout timer, and stops sending or receiving VRRP6 Advertisement packets. A VRRP6 group can be bound to only one mVRRP6 group.
