interface vrrp

Description

Use the interface vrrp commands to configure network interface Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) instances.

Syntax

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> admin {down | up}
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255>

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> authentication <text>
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> authentication

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> debug action {dump_info | clear_stats | mem_stats}

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> debug packet_trace
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> debug packet_trace

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> description <text>
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> description

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> ip <IP address>

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> preempt
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> preempt

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> priority <1–254>
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> priority

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> timers advertise <1–255>
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> timers advertise

interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> timers holddown <1–255>
no interface <interface name> vrrp <1–255> timers holddown

Arguments

<interface name>	Specifies the name of this interface. Currently, wan0 is the sole available interface.
vrrp <1-255>	The ID for the VRRP. Valid numbers are from 1 through 255, inclusive.
admin down	Disables the VRRP instance.
admin up	Enables the VRRP instance.
authentication <text>	Configures an authentication string. This text string is limited to a maximum of eight characters. Use the no form of this command to delete the authentication string.
debug action {dump_info | clear_stats | mem_stats}	For the VRRP instance specified: • dump_info – dumps all info into a log file • clear_stats – clears debug statistics • mem_stats – creates a log file of all memory usage information
debug packet_trace	Enables a VRRP packet trace to a log file. Use the no form of this command to disable the dumping of the Rx/Tx VRRP packet to a log file.
description <text>	Sets the VRRP description string. Use the no form of this command to delete the VRRP description string.
ip <IP address>	Creates a VRRP router or modifies a VRRP virtual IP address.
preempt	Enables preemption of the lower-priority Master. Use the no form of this command to disable preemption of lower priority Master.
priority <1-254>	Sets the priority of this appliance. Use the no form of this command to reset priority level to the default value of 128.
timers advertise <1-255>	Specifies the advertisement interval in seconds. Use the no form of the command to reset to the the default value of 1 second.
timers holddown <1-255>	Sets the wait time (in seconds) before asserting ownership. Use the no form of this command to reset hlddown to the default value of 10.

Defaults

The default priority is 128.

The default advertisement interval is 1 second.

Usage Guidelines

The interface vrrp commands are only valid when the appliance is in router mode. Also, they only support the wan0 interface.

To see a list of the available interface names you may use, enter the following command:

<silver-peak> (config) # interface ?

Examples

To delete the vrrp authentication strong for the VRRP ID, 7:

(config) # no interface wan0 vrrp 7 authentication

To reset the appliance priority level to the default value for the VRRP ID, 243:

(config) # no interface wan0 vrrp 243 priority
