Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If VRRPv2 and VRRPv3 are used on a network and devices running VRRPv2 need to communicate with devices running VRRPv3, run the vrrp version command to specify a VRRP version number.

Precautions

A VRRPv2 group can only send and receive VRRPv2 Advertisement packets. It discards the received VRRPv3 Advertisement packets.

A VRRPv3 group can send and receive both VRRPv2 and VRRPv3 Advertisement packets. You can configure a mode in which VRRPv3 Advertisement packets are sent so that devices running VRRPv2 and VRRPv3 can communicate.

Follow-up Procedure

After VRRPv3 is used, run the vrrp version-3 send-packet-mode command in the system view or the vrrp vrid version-3 send-packet-mode command in the interface view to configure a mode in which VRRP Advertisement packets are sent.

Example

# Set the VRRP version of the device to VRRPv3.
