VRRP Question

[richiedichie]

I have two ERS8010 linked via IST running VRRP running ver 4.1.3.0.  I would like to find out if it is possible to have a secondary VRRP IP address created on a existing VLAN that already has a VRRP IP associated with it.

Thanks for any assistance.

yes, you can have as many as you want until 255 i think

Thanks for your response.

you can have multiple vrrp's in a vlan, as long as you configure different vrrp-id's on the routers.
i.e. router pair 1 vrrp-id 1, router pair 2 vrrp-id2 etc...

cheers

yes exactly, even though i think it's possible within the standard, use different IDs for different VRRP IPs

Just a warning here... you need to make sure you use unique VRRP ID throughout the entire switch, not just per VLAN. There is a well known issue with VRRP on the ERS 8600, if you use VRRP ID 1 for every VLAN you'll run into nasty issues when you reach about 60+ VLANs.

Cheers!
