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;
