Configuring a Virtual IP Address

To configure a virtual IP address, use the following commands.

  1. Configure a VRRP group. INTERFACE mode vrrp-group vrrp-id The VRID range is from 1 to 255.
  2. Configure virtual IP addresses for this VRID. INTERFACE -VRID mode virtual-address ip-address1 [ ...ip-address12] The range is up to 12 addresses.

Example of the virtual-address Command 

Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-111)#virtual-address 10.10.10.1
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-111)#virtual-address 10.10.10.2
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-111)#virtual-address 10.10.10.3
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-111)#

Example of Verifying the Virtual IP Address Configuration

  • NOTE: In the following example, the primary IP address and the virtual IP addresses are on the same subnet. 
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#show conf
                                 !
                                 interface Tengigabitethernet 1/1
                                 
                                 ip address 10.10.10.1/24
                                 !
                                 vrrp-group 111
                                 priority 255
                                 
                                 virtual-address 10.10.10.1
                                 virtual-address 10.10.10.2
                                 virtual-address 10.10.10.3
                                 !
                                 vrrp-group 222
                                 no shutdown
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#

The following example shows the same VRRP group (VRID 111) configured on multiple interfaces on different subnets.
