This example shows how to configure the managed switch to support VRRP. Router 1 is the default master router for the virtual route, and Router 2 is the backup router.
- Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding will then be enabled by default.
(Netgear Switch) #config
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing
- Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will participate in the protocol.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#routing
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip address 192.150.2.1 255.255.0.0
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit
- Enable VRRP for the switch.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip vrrp
- Assign virtual router IDs to port that will participate in the protocol.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20
- Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. Note that the virtual IP address on port 1/0/2 is the same as the port’s actual IP address therefore, this router will always be the VRRP master when it is active. The default priority is 255.
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1
- Enable VRRP on the port.
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20 mode
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
