Enabling accept mode on a backup VRRP device
Enabling accept mode allows a backup VRRP device to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets if the backup device becomes the master VRRP device.
This task is performed on any device that is designated as a backup VRRP device, and the functionality is activated if the backup device becomes a master VRRP device. Repeat this task for all devices that are to be designated as backup devices.
NOTE
The accept mode functionality does not support SSH packets.
The following example enables accept mode for a backup VRRP device.
device# configure terminal device(config)# router vrrp device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/5 device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ip address 10.53.5.3/24 device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ip vrrp vrid 1 device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# backup priority 110 device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# accept-mode
