VRRP for IPv6 Configuration

This section shows VRRP IPv6 topology with CLI configurations.

Consider an example VRRP for IPv6 configuration in which the IPv6 VRRP group consists of two routers.
Figure 1. VRRP for IPv6 Topology
VRRP for IPv6 Topology
NOTE This example does not contain comprehensive directions and is intended to provide guidance for only a typical VRRP configuration. You can copy and paste from the example to your CLI. Be sure you make the necessary changes to support your own IP addresses, interfaces, names, and so on.
NOTE In a VRRP or VRRPv3 group, if two routers come up with the same priority and another router already has MASTER status, the router with master status continues to be master even if one of two routers has a higher IP or IPv6 address.
Router 2
R2(conf)#interface gigabitethernet 1/1
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1)#no ip address
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1)#ipv6 address 1::1/64
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1)#vrrp-group 10
NOTE You must configure a virtual link local (fe80) address for each VRRPv3 group created for an interface. The VRRPv3 group becomes active as soon as you configure the link local address. Afterwards, you can configure the group’s virtual IPv6 address.
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-10)#virtual-address fe80::10
NOTE The virtual IPv6 address you configure should be the same as the IPv6 subnet to which the interface belongs.
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-10)#virtual-address 1::10
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-10)#no shutdown
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1)#show config
interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
 ipv6 address 1::1/64
 vrrp-group 10
  priority 100
  virtual-address fe80::10
  virtual-address 1::10
 no shutdown
R2(conf-if-gi-1/1)#end

NOTE Although R2 and R3 have the same default priority (100), R2 is elected master in the VRRPv3 group because the Gigabitethernet 1/1 interface has a higher IPv6 address than the Gigabitethernet 1/2 interface on R3.
