assign virtual ip to vsr

[DeepakAshwath]

we have a vsr1000 and we are trying to assign a virtual ip to a Gigabit interface.

The Gigabit interface has connectivity and when assigned a IP it works and when we try to assigning a virtual-ip using the below command

Gigabit Interface1/5 # ip address 10.x.x.x 255.x.x.x ---> it works and is active

Gigabit Interface1/5 # vrrp vrid 30 virtual-ip 10.x.x.x 255.x.x.x -----> does not work <are we missing any config>

the virtual ip is not active and doesnt ping, the ip given is of the same vlan given to the gigabit interface.

thanks in advance

DO you have any other VRRP configured on this router?

Have you configued a VRRP mode on the interface?

Have you tried using a VRRP group number between 1 to 8 instead of 30?

[DeepakAshwath]

THanks Vince for the reply.

We are trying to configure only 1 vrrp.

Yes vrrp mode on GigabitEthernet Interface 1/5

Not yet tried between 1 to 8, will try it though.

[DeepakAshwath]

I have not configured vrrp mode on the interface, please tell if any config is missing.

[Vince-Whirlwind]

You have to configure vrrp mode on the interface.

I think "undo vrrp mode" on the interface is an option.

VRRP is used for redundancy where you have 2 or more boxes sharing an ip (while they at the same time still have their own physical ip's).

Reading the thread I think the OP wants to setup a vlan-interface and assign that to a specific physical interface, am I correct?

[DeepakAshwath]

Thanks Apachez.

Thanks Vince.

Yes we have 2 VSRs and both interfaces 1/0 have physical IPs, but when I am giving a shared IP using vrrp. The shared IP does not seem to work.

VSR1

Gigabit Interface1/5 # ip address 10.10.10.5 255.x.x.x ---> it works and is active

Gigabit Interface1/5 # vrrp vrid 30 virtual-ip 10.10.10.254 255.x.x.x -----> does not work

VSR2

Gigabit Interface1/5 # ip address 10.10.10.6 255.x.x.x ---> it works and is active

Gigabit Interface1/5 # vrrp vrid 30 virtual-ip 10.10.10.254 255.x.x.x -----> does not work

10.10.10.254 is the shared IP

vrrp mode did not help much, even though we did vrrp mode load-balance.

According to the manual (look at page 20 for example) something like this should work for you:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03937361

VSR1

Gigabit Interface1/5 # ip address 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0

Gigabit Interface1/5 # vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 10.10.10.254

VSR2

Gigabit Interface1/5 # ip address 10.10.10.6 255.255.255.0

Gigabit Interface1/5 # vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 10.10.10.254

And then verify configuration with:

display vrrp verbose

Also its recommended to apply authentication and consider use of loadbalance and/or preemption (see the manual for more information on that).

Also make sure you have L2-connectivity between gig int 1/5 of both boxes (so the VRRP can see and communicate with the other part).
