No additional address configuration is required as it is in the IPv4 case. IPv6 uses link-local addresses to communicate between nodes.
Parameters
Property | Description | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
arp (disabled | enabled | proxy-arp | reply-only; Default: enabled) | ARP resolution protocol mode | |||||
arp-timeout(integer; Default: auto) | ||||||
authentication (ah | none | simple; Default: none) | Authentication method to use for VRRP advertisement packets.
| |||||
group-master (interface; Default: none) | Allows combining multiple VRRP interfaces to maintain the same VRRP status within the group. For example, VRRP instances run on LAN and WAN networks with NAT in-between. If one VRRP instance is Master and the other is Backup on the same device, the entire network malfunctions due to NAT failure. Grouping LAN and WAN VRRP interfaces ensure that both are either VRRP Master or Backup. In a VRRP group, VRRP control traffic gets sent only by the group master. That's why in a typical WAN+LAN setup, it is recommended to use the LAN network as the group master to keep VRRP control traffic in the internal network.
| |||||
interface (string; Default: ) | Interface name on which VRRP instance will be running | |||||
interval (time [10ms..4m15s]; Default: 1s) | VRRP update interval in seconds. Defines how often the master sends advertisement packets. | |||||
mtu (integer; Default: 1500) | Layer3 MTU size | |||||
name (string; Default: ) | VRRP interface name | |||||
on-backup (string; Default: ) | Script to execute when the node is switched to the backup state | |||||
on-master (string; Default: ) | Script to execute when the node is switched to master state | |||||
on-fail (string; Default: ) | Script to execute when the node fails | |||||
password (string; Default: ) | Password required for authentication. Can be ignored if authentication is not used. | |||||
preemption-mode (yes | no; Default: yes) | Whether master node always has the priority. When set to 'no' the backup node will not be elected to be a master until the current master fails, even if the backup node has higher priority than the current master. This setting is ignored if owner router becomes available | |||||
priority (integer: 1..254; Default: 100) | Priority of VRRP node used in Master election algorithm. A higher number means higher priority. '255' is reserved for the router that owns VR IP and '0' is reserved for the Master router to indicate that it is releasing responsibility. | |||||
remote-address (IPv4; Default: ) | Specifies the remote address of the other VRRP router for syncing connection tracking. If not set, the system autodetects the remote address via VRRP. The remote address is used only if sync-connection-tracking=yes. Explicitly setting a remote address has the following benefits:
Sync connection tracking uses UDP port 8275. | |||||
v3-protocol (ipv4 | ipv6; Default: ipv4) | A protocol that will be used by VRRPv3. Valid only if the version is 3. | |||||
version (integer [2, 3]; Default: 3) | Which VRRP version to use. | |||||
vrid (integer: 1..255; Default: 1) | Virtual Router identifier. Each Virtual router must have a unique id number | |||||
sync-connection-tracking(string; Default: no) | Synchronize connection tracking entries from Master to Backup device. Does not work together with preemption-mode. |
