VRRPv3
- VRRPv3 overview
VRRP version 3 (VRRPv3) introduces IPv6 address support for both standard VRRP and VRRP enhanced (VRRP-E). - Enabling an IPv6 VRRPv3 owner device
- Enabling an IPv6 VRRPv3 backup device
- Enabling an IPv4 VRRPv3 owner device
- Enabling an IPv4 VRRPv3 backup device
- Tracked ports and track priority with VRRP and VRRP-E
Port tracking allows interfaces not configured for VRRP or VRRP-E to be monitored for link-state changes that can result in dynamic changes to the VRRP device priority. - Accept mode for backup VRRP devices
Accept mode allows a backup VRRP device to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets if the backup device becomes the master VRRP device. - Alternate VRRPv2 checksum for VRRPv3 IPv4 sessions
If VRRPv3 is configured on a Brocade device in a network with third-party peering devices using VRRPv2-style checksum calculations for IPv4 VRRPv3 sessions, a VRRPv2-style checksum must be configured for VRRPv3 IPv4 sessions on the Brocade device. - Automatic generation of a virtual link-local address for VRRPv3
The virtual MAC address is used to automatically generate the IPv6 virtual link-local address to simplify the configuration of IPv6 VRRP and standardize implementations across vendor platforms. Subsequent VRRPv3 advertisements carry the auto-generated virtual link-local address. - Displaying VRRPv3 statistics
Various show commands can display statistical information about IPv6 VRRP configurations. - Clearing VRRPv3 statistics
VRRPv3 session counters can be cleared using a CLI command. - VRRP-Ev3 Overview
VRRP Extended version 3 (VRRP-Ev3) introduces IPv6 address support to the Brocade proprietary VRRP Extended version 2 (VRRP-Ev2) protocol. VRRP-Ev3 is designed to avoid the limitations in the standards-based VRRPv3 protocol. - Enabling an IPv6 VRRP-Ev3 device
- Displaying and clearing VRRP-Ev3 statistics
Several show commands can display statistical information about IPv6 VRRP-Ev3 configurations. To reset the IPv6 VRRP-Ev3 statistics, there is a CLI command.
