Example: Configuring Multiple VRRP Owner Groups

These examples show how to configure multiple virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) IPv4 and IPv6 owner groups.

Requirements

This example uses the following hardware and software components:

  • A EX-Series, M-Series, MX-Series, or T-Series router.

  • Junos OS release 12.3 or later

Overview

Multiple VRRP owner groups allows users to reuse interface address identifiers (IFAs) as virtual IP addresses (VIPs). You can configure multiple IPv4 owner groups, multiple IPv6 owner groups, or a mix of IPv4 and IPv6 owner groups.

Configuration

CLI Quick Configuration

To quickly configure this section of the example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.

Multiple IPv4 and IPv6 owner groups

Configuring multiple IPv4 owner groups

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure multiple IPv4 owner groups:

  1. Create an IPv4 interface on the device

  2. Configure the first IPv4 owner group

  3. Configure the second IPv4 owner group

  4. Configure the third IPv4 owner group

Configuring multiple IPv6 owner groups

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure multiple IPv6 owner groups:

  1. Create an IPv6 interface on the device

  2. Configure the inet6 address for the first IPv6 owner group

Configuring multiple IPv4 and IPv6 owner groups

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure multiple IPv4 and IPv6 owner groups:

  1. Create an interface on the device

  2. Configure the family inet address and virtual address for the IPv4 owner group

  3. Set the priority of the IPv4 owner group to 255

  4. Configure the inet6 address for the first IPv6 owner group

  5. Set the virtual link local address for the first IPv6 owner group

  6. Set the first IPv6 owner group’s priority to 255

  7. Configure the inet6 address for the second IPv6 owner group

  8. Set the virtual link local address for the second IPv6 owner group

  9. Set the second IPv6 owner group’s priority to 255

  10. Configure the inet6 address for the third IPv6 owner group

  11. Set the virtual link local address for the third IPv6 owner group

  12. Set the third IPv6 owner group’s priority to 250

Results

Multiple IPv4 owner groups

Multiple IPv6 owner groups

Multiple IPv4 and IPv6 owner groups

Verification

To verify the configuration, run the show interfaces ge-1/0/0 command, or use whichever name you assigned to the interface.
