3dr IP Adress for VRRP - Is it possible?

Paula1 — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:06:00 GMT

Hi,
I've got a question here concerning Extreme switches (48si,X450, X480, it really does not matter). Is it possible to configure VRRP with a 3rd IP Adress as VIP? Just like "the other company's switches" do? The ones that I've tried to configure this way have Layer3 licenses and all
Example:
SwA - 10.1.1.1
SwB - 10.1.1.2
VIP - 10.1.1.3
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, it is possible.

SWA
create vrrp vlan vrrp-1 vrid 1
configure vrrp vlan vrrp-1 vrid 1 priority 254
configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 preempt
configure vrrp vlan vrrp-1 vrid 1 authentication simple-password newvrrp
configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 add 10.1.1.3
enable vrrp

SWB
create vrrp vlan vrrp-1 vrid 1
configure vrrp vlan vrrp-1 vrid 1 priority 250
configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 preempt
configure vrrp vlan vrrp-1 vrid 1 authentication simple-password newvrrp
configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 add 10.1.1.3
enable vrrp

show vrrp
show vrrp detail
show vrrp virtual-router
show vrrp vlan vrrp-1
show vrrp vlan vrrp-1 stats
