Configuring VRRP and VRRP for IPv6

[Contents] [Prev] [Next] [Index] [Report an Error]

To configure VRRP or VRRP for IPv6, include the vrrp-group or vrrp-inet6-group statement, respectively. These statements are available at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address]

The VRRP and VRRP IPv6 configuration statements are as follows:



(vrrp-group | vrrp-inet-group) group-number {
(accept-data | no-accept-data);
advertise-interval seconds;
authentication-key key;
authentication-type authentication;
fast-interval milliseconds;


(preempt | no-preempt) {
hold-time seconds;
}


priority-number number;


track {
priority-hold-time;


interface interface-name {
priority-cost priority;


bandwidth-threshold bits-per-second {
priority-cost;
}


}


}


virtual-address [ addresses ];
}

To trace VRRP and VRRP for IPv6 operations, include the traceoptions statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:



[edit protocols vrrp traceoptions]
file {
filename filename;
files number;
size size;
(world-readable | no-world-readable);
}
flag flag;

When there are multiple VRRP groups, there is a few seconds delay between the time the first gratuitous ARP is sent out and the rest of the gratuitous ARP are sent. Configuring failover-delay compensates for this delay. To configure the failover delay from 500 to 2000 milliseconds for VRRP and VRRP for IPv6 operations, use the set failover-delay milliseconds statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:



[edit protocols vrrp]
set failover-delay milliseconds;

To configure the startup period for VRRP and VRRP for IPv6 operations, include the startup-silent-period statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:



[edit protocols vrrp]
startup-silent-period seconds;
