Configuring VRRP and VRRP for IPv6

To configure VRRP or VRRP for IPv6, include the vrrp-group or vrrp-inet6-group statement, respectively. These statements are available at the following hierarchy levels:

  • [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address]
  • [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address]

The VRRP and VRRP IPv6 configuration statements are as follows:

(vrrp-group | vrrp-inet-group) group-number {(accept-data | no-accept-data);advertise-interval seconds;authentication-key key;authentication-type authentication;fast-interval milliseconds;(preempt | no-preempt) {hold-time seconds;}priority-number number;track {priority-hold-time;interface interface-name {priority-cost priority;bandwidth-threshold bits-per-second {priority-cost;}}}virtual-address [ addresses ];}

You can configure VRRP IPv6 with a global unicast address.

To trace VRRP and VRRP for IPv6 operations, include the traceoptions statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:

[edit protocols vrrp]
traceoptions {file <filename> <files number <match regular-expression <microsecond-stamp> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;flag flag;no-remote-trace;}

When there are multiple VRRP groups, there is a few seconds delay between the time the first gratuitous ARP is sent out and the rest of the gratuitous ARP are sent. Configuring failover-delay compensates for this delay. To configure the failover delay from 500 to 2000 milliseconds for VRRP and VRRP for IPv6 operations, include the failover-delay milliseconds statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:

[edit protocols vrrp]failover-delay milliseconds;

To configure the startup period for VRRP and VRRP for IPv6 operations, include the startup-silent-period statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:

[edit protocols vrrp]startup-silent-period seconds;

To enable VRRPv3, set the version-3 statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level:

[edit protocols vrrp]version-3;
