Configuration Examples for VRRP

Example for Configuring a VRRP Group

In this example, a VRRP group is configured to work in master/backup mode. The master router in the VRRP group transmits all network traffic.

Example for Configuring VRRP Groups to Work in Multi-gateway Load Balancing Mode

In this example, two VRRP groups are configured to work in multi-gateway load balancing mode. Devices in the VRRP groups back up each other and load-balance traffic.

Example for Connecting VRRP Groups to L3VPNs

In this example, a VRRP group is specified as a gateway connected to CEs in each Layer 3 virtual private network (L3VPN). This configuration allows various VRRP groups to load-balance traffic and hosts at different sites in each VPN to communicate with each other.

Example for Configuring an mVRRP Group

In this example, an mVRRP group is configured to determine the master/backup status of service VRRP groups bound to it.

Example for Associating a VRRP Group with a VRRP-disabled Interface

In this example, a VRRP group is associated with a VRRP-disabled interface. If the interface fails, a master/backup switchover is performed.

Example for Associating a VRRP Group with a BFD Session

In this example, a VRRP group is associated with a BFD session. If the interface on which the VRRP status is Master or the link monitored by BFD goes Down, a backup device in the VRRP group preempts the Master state and takes over.

Example for Associating a VRRP Group with an NQA Test Instance

In this example, a VRRP group is associated with an NQA test instance. When NQA detects that a cross-device uplink goes Down, it instructs the VRRP group to perform a master/backup switchover.

Example for Configuring a Unicast VRRP Group

This section provides an example for configuring a unicast VRRP group to implement the master/backup status negotiation between two devices on a Layer 3 network.
