The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a fault tolerant protocol, and it groups several routers into a virtual router. If the next hop router of a host is defective, VRRP uses a mechanism to switch traffic to another router. This ensures continuity and reliability of communications.
In this example, by configuring a VRRP backup group in master/backup mode, you can use the master device of the VRRP backup group to transmit all network traffic.
Networking Requirements
-
CX-A and CX-B form a VRRP backup group that serves as the default gateway for Host A.
-
Normally, CX-A serves as the gateway. When CX-A fails, CX-B serves as the gateway.
-
CX-A continues to function as the master CX device within 20 seconds after it recovers.
Configuration Roadmap
-
Create the backup group 1 on the GE 2/0/0 on CX-A and configure CX-A with the highest priority in the backup group to be the master CX device. Configure the preemption mode.
-
Create backup group 1 on the GE 2/0/0 interface on CX-B and use the default priority.
Data Preparation
-
Virtual router ID and virtual IP address
-
Priority of each CX device in the backup group
-
Preemption mode
Procedure
- Configure network interconnection between devices.
# Configure the default gateway of Host A with 10.1.1.111 and the default gateway of Host B with 20.1.1.1.# Configure CX-A, CX-B and CX-C to use OSPF for interconnection.
- Configure VRRP.
# On CX-A, configure the IP address of the interface, create backup group 1 and configure the priority of CX-A in this group with 120 (as the master CX device).

Check that the VRRP backup group can serve as a gateway.After the previous configuration, Host A can ping through Host B.Running the display vrrp command on CX-A, you can view that the status of CX-A is Master. Running thedisplay vrrp command on CX-B, you can view that the CX-B is Backup.

Running the display ip routing-table command on CX-A and CX-B, you can view a direct route with the destination address being the virtual IP address on CX-A, and an OSPF route to the same destination on CX-B.The displays on CX-A and CX-B are as follows.<CX-A> display ip routing-tableRoute Flags: R - relied, D - download to fib

Check whether CX- B can become the master when CX-A fails.To simulate the election of the master CX device when CX-A fails, run the shutdown command on the GE 2/0/0 on CX-A.Running the display vrrp command on CX-B to view the VRRP status, you can view that CX-B is in the Master state. The command output is as follows:
<CX-B> display vrrpGigabitEthernet2/0/0 | Virtual CX-1state : Master

Check that CX-A can perform preemption after recovering.Run the undo shutdown command on GE 2/0/0. On CX-A, run the display vrrp command to view VRRP status 20 seconds after GE 2/0/0 being Up. You can view that CX-A restores to be the master CX device.
