Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
Configuring VRRP
Configuring a VR Instance on a VLAN Interface
The preceeding section describes the command for creating and entering a
VR context. This section describes the configuration and activation com-
mands available in the VR context.
Assigning Owner and Backup Status. Each VRRP router must be config-
ured as either the Owner of the VR instance or a Backup for the instance.
Syntax: < owner | backup >
Used in a VR context of a VLAN to set the router as either the
Owner of the VR on that interface or as a Backup. There can
be one Owner per network or subnet for a given VR. If the VLAN
is multinetted and multiple subnets are configured in the
same VR, the router must be either the Owner for all subnets
in the VR or a Backup for all subnets in the VR. The VR instance
must be disabled (the default VR state) when using this
command.
(Default: None)
These commands configure and display the Owner status in VR 1 on VLAN 10:
ProCurve(vlan-10-vrid-1)# owner
ProCurve(vlan-10-vrid-1)# show vrrp config
