Chapter 1 VRRP Configuration
1.1 Overview
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ensures the successful
single-node service in the default static routing condition. VRRP avoids the
defects of the statically designated gateway. A group of OLTs can work together as
a virtual OLT through VRRP. The virtual OLT has a virtual IP address and a virtual
MAC address for the outside. VRRP chooses one OLT from the OLT group as the
master OLT, responsible for forwarding packet. When the master OLT has
problems, the standby OLT will promptly take over the tasks of the master OLT
without changing the default gateway address. The whole takeover process is
transparent to the terminal system. This mechanism can provide fast and effective
resolution when trouble occurs.
1.2 VRRP Configuration Task List
Enabling/Disabling VRRP on the Interface
Configuring VRRP authentication mode
Configuring VRRP priority preemption
Configuring VRRP priority
Configuring VRRP clock value
Monitoring and maintaining VRRP
1.3 VRRP Configuration Task
1.3.1 Configuring VRRP Virtual IP Address
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid associate virtual-address Configures VRRP Virtual IP address on
address-mask the interface
no vrrp vrid associate [virtual-address Deletes VRRP Virtual IP address on the
address-mask] interface
The virtual OLT is enabled after the virtual address of VRRP is configured. The
virtual address and the primary IP address of the port must be in the same network
segment. Otherwise, the virtual OLT remains in the Init state. When the virtual IP
address and the IP address of the port are consistent, the system automatically
promote the precedence of the routing OLT to 255.

1.3.2 Configuring VRRP Authentication Mode
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid authentication WORD Configures VRRP authentication mode to
simple-text.
no vrrp vrid authentication Resumes the VRRP authentication mode
to the default setting.
In simple-text authentication mode, the authentication character string is in the
message as clear code and is forwarded out. The receiver checks the
authentication character string in the message to see whether it matches the
locally configured authentication character string. The authentication character
string has eight characters at most.
By default, the authentication mode of VRRP is no-authen.
1.3.3 Configuring VRRP Description
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid description WORD Configures VRRP description information
no vrrp vrid description Deletes VRRP description information
VRRP description information, which is used for stating the usage of local VRRP.
By default, VRRP has no description information.
1.3.4 Configuring VRRP Priority Preemption
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid preempt [delay second] Configures VRRP priority preemption
no vrrp vrid preempt [delay] Resumes the default VRRP priority
preemption mode.
The priority preemption is effective only to the backup OLT. After the backup OLT
receives the announce message from the master OLT, it will examine the priority of
the master OLT. If the priority level of the master OLT is lower than the locally
configured priority level and the backup OLT is configured with priority preemption,
the backup OLT will leap from the backup state to the master state and send the
announce message to the outside. Otherwise, the backup OLT remains in the
backup state.
In default state, the authentication mode of VRRP is no-authen.
1.3.5 Configuring VRRP Protocol Packet MAC Address
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
-4-
Reliability Configuration
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid source-mac-use-system Configures VRRP group to forward
packets with system mac address
no vrrpvrid source-mac-use-system Configures VRRP group to forward
packets with protocol mac address
By default, VRRP protocol packet forward source address with protocol mac
address; after the command is configured, VRRP protocol packet forwards the
system mac address as the source address.
1.3.6 Configuring VRRP Priority
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid priority value (1~254) Configures VRRP priority
no vrrp vrid priority Resumes the default VRRP priority
mode.
When the virtual address and the port address are same, VRRP will automatically
increase its priority value to 255. After the virtual address or the port address
changes, the priority value automatically resumes to the original value.
The default value is 100.
1.3.7 Configuring VRRP Clock Value
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
Command Purpose
vrrpvrid timer advertise { value | dsec Configures VRRP clock value
value | csec value }
no vrrp vrid timer advertise Resumes the VRRP clock value to the
default value.
no vrrp vrid timer learn Configures VRRP clock as the learning
mode
The clock value means the shortest time for the virtual routing OLT to recover from
a trouble. When the master routing OLT is down, the backup routing OLT will serve
as the master routing OLT after the 3*advertisement + skew_time interval. It is
clear that the trouble cannot be removed immediately if the advertisement clock
value is too big. Hence, the default value of the advertisement clock is
recommended.
The default value is 1 second.
1.3.8 Configuring VRRP Monitoring Object
Run the following commands in vlan interface configuration mode.
-5-
Reliability Configuration
Command Purpose
vrrp vrid track interface intf-id value Configures VRRP monitoring local
interface state
no vrrp vrid track interface intf-id Resumes to the default setting
vrrp vrid track ip ip-address value Configures VRRP monitoring to the static
routing state to the designated address
no vrrp vrid track ip ip-address Resumes to the default setting.
With the monitoring function, VRRP group can adjust the priority appropriately
according to the change of the link state. It provides an opportunity of switching
master line state to the backup line state. The change of the link state refers to
whether the destination link bypass the VRRP routing OLT is reachable, rather
than the VRRP OLT itself is reachable.
VRRP supports two monitoring objects: First, monitoring the interface status.
When the monitored port link state is down, lower the priority of itself proactively.
Second, monitoring the static route state of designated node. When the monitored
route is unreachable, lower the priority of itself proactively. Monitoring the static
route state of designated node needs to apply the function of BFD detecting static
route.
1.3.9 Monitoring and Maintaining VRRP
Run the following commands in EXEC configuration mode.
Command Purpose
show vrrp { brief | [interface vlan_intf] Displays the VRRP information.
[detail]}
debug vrrp [interface intf-id vrid] {errors Enables the debugging on-off for VRRP
| events | packets | all} packets and events.
no debug vrrp Disables the debugging on-off for VRRP
packets and events.
