Configure VRRP Link Group Example

Network Requirements

On Device1 and Device2 interface, enable VRRP and add to the link group. Only the Active group in the link group interacts the protocol packets.
The VRRP status of the non-Active keeps consistent with the VRRP status of the Active group. When the Active group status switches, the non-Active group also switches.

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Configure VLAN and add the port to the corresponding VLAN.(Omitted)

Step 2: Configure the IP address of the interface.(Omitted)

Step 3: Create one VRRP link group.

#Configure VRRP link group 1 on Device1.

Device1#configure terminal
Device1(config)#vrrp linkgroup 1

#Configure VRRP link group 1 on Device2.

Device2#configure terminal
Device2(config)#vrrp linkgroup 1

Step 4: Create the VRRP group.

#Configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group 1 as 11.1.1.3 on Device1 interface.

Device1(config)#interface vlan 2
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#vrrp 1 ip 11.1.1.3
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#exit

#Configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group 2 as 22.1.1.3 on Device1 interface.

Device1(config)#interface vlan 3
Device1(config-if-vlan3)#vrrp 2 ip 22.1.1.3
Device1(config-if-vlan3)#exit

#Configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group 1 as 11.1.1.3 on Device2 interface.

Device2(config)#interface vlan 2
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#vrrp 1 ip 11.1.1.3
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#exit

#Configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group 2 as 22.1.1.3 on Device2 interface.

Device2(config)#interface vlan 3
Device2(config-if-vlan3)#vrrp 2 ip 22.1.1.3
Device2(config-if-vlan3)#exit

Step 5: Configure VRRP to add to the link group.

#On Device1, the VRRP group 1 is added to the link group in Active mode.

Device1(config)#interface vlan 2
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#vrrp 1 linkgroup 1 active
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#exit

#On Device1, the VRRP group 2 is added to the link group in non-Active mode.

Device1(config)#interface vlan 3
Device1(config-if-vlan3)#vrrp 2 linkgroup 1
Device1(config-if-vlan3)#exit

#On Device2, the VRRP group 1 is added to the link group in Active mode.

Device2(config)#interface vlan 2
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#vrrp 1 linkgroup 1 active
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#exit

#On Device2, the VRRP group 2 is added to the link group in non-Active mode.

Device2(config)#interface vlan 3
Device2(config-if-vlan3)#vrrp 2 linkgroup 1
Device2(config-if-vlan3)#exit

Step 6: Check the result.

#View the VRRP status on Device1.

Device1#show vrrp
Interface vlan2 (Flags 0x1) 
  Pri-addr : 11.1.1.1 
  Vrf : 0 
  Virtual router : 1 
    Linkgroup : 1 
    Active : TRUE 
    Virtual IP address : 11.1.1.3

Interface vlan3 (Flags 0x1) 
  Pri-addr : 22.1.1.1

  Virtual router : 2 
    Linkgroup : 1 
    Active : FALSE 
    Virtual IP address : 22.1.1.3

#View the VRRP status on Device2.

Device2#show vrrp
Interface vlan2 (Flags 0x1) 
  Pri-addr : 11.1.1.2 
  Vrf : 0 
  Virtual router : 1 
    Linkgroup : 1 
    Active : TRUE 
    Virtual IP address : 11.1.1.3

    Currnet priority : 100 
    Priority reduced : 0 
    Preempt-mode : YES

Interface vlan3 (Flags 0x1) 
  Pri-addr : 22.1.1.2 
  Vrf : 0 
  Virtual router : 2 
    Linkgroup : 1 
    Active : FALSE 
    Virtual IP address : 22.1.1.3 
    Virtual MAC address : 00-00-5e-00-01-02 , installed into HW 
    Depend prefix:22.1.1.2/24

    Currnet priority : 100 
    Priority reduced : 0 
    Preempt-mode : YES 
    Advertise-interval : 1 Authentication Mode : None

We can see that the VRRP status of the non-Active group and Active group keep consistent.

Step 7: Configure the priority of VLAN2 interface in Device1 as 110, making the status change.

Device1(config)#interface vlan 2
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#vrrp 1 priority 110
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#exit
