# ip vrrp accept-data

#### Syntax

[ no ] ip vrrp vrid accept-data

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Enables the backup router to process packets with an IP destination address equivalent to the virtual addresses while the backup router is in the master state. The router ignores this attribute when the VRRP entry uses a priority of 255. You must use the default state (disabled) to comply with RFC 3768. When disabled, the master router drops any packets with an IP destination address equivalent to the virtual address. The no version restores the default value, disabled.

| Note: When using this attribute and also restricting incoming packets to ICMP only, you must use policy filters to accept only ICMP packets with the virtual address as the destination address.

#### Options

- vrid—VRID identifier; a number in the range 1–255
