V Commands

This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) commands that begin with V.

vrrp

To create a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) group on a particular Ethernet interface and assign a number to the VRRP group and enter VRRP configuration mode, use the vrrp command. To remove a VRRP group, use the no form of this command.

vrrp number

no vrrp number

Syntax Description

number

VRRP group number, which you can configure for a Gigabit Ethernet port, including the main interfaces and subinterfaces. The range is from 1 to 255.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure VRRP only if its state is disabled. Make sure that you configure at least one IP address before you attempt to enable a virtual router.

Examples

This example shows how to create a VRRP group: 

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1

switch(config-if)# no switchport

switch(config-if)# vrrp 7 

switch(config-if-vrrp)# 

 
   
 
    
   
 This example shows how to create a VRRP group and configure an IPv4 address for the group: 
 
    
   
 
    
switch# configure terminal

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config-if)# no switchport

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config-if)# vrrp 7 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config-if-vrrp)# address 10.0.0.10

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config-if-vrrp)# no shutdown

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config-if-vrrp)#
