Configure VRRP Link Group

VRRP link group can reduce the interacting of the VRRP packets and the network load, and reaches the ms-class switchover. Add multiple common VRRP groups to one VRRP link group and different VRRP groups play different roles in the link group, such as Active or non-Active. The Active group in the link group is responsible for sending the packet, while the non-Active group does not send. The non-active group status keeps consistent with the Active group status, that is, Active group status switches, and the non-Active group status also switches, so as to reduce the interacting of the protocol packet. Moreover, the link group can configure the sending period of the VRRP packet to ms-class, so as to reach the fast switchover.

Configuration Condition

Before configuring the VRRP link group, first complete the following task:

• Configure multiple VRRP groups

Configure VRRP Link Group

To configure the VRRP link group, first create the VRRP link group, and then add the configured common VRRP group to the created link group. The common VRRP group can be added to the link group in Active or non-Active group format, but one link group should have only one Active group.

  Besides the link group, multiple VRRP groups also can realize the load balance. For details, refer to the chapter of “Configure VRRP Load Balance” in “VRRP Typical Configuration Example”.
• In the link group, after the VRRP general group is added, the general group timer becomes invalid, that is, the sending period of the general group VRRP packets takes the timer of the link group as reference.
