This document describes the configuration of BFD, DLDP, VRRP, SmartLink, CFM, EFM, Y.1731 and MAC swap loopback to ensure reliability on the device.

Example for Configuring a VRRP Group in Active/Standby Mode

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 4-16, HostA is dual-homed to SwitchA and SwitchB through the switch. To ensure nonstop service transmission, a VRRP group in active/standby mode needs to be configured on SwitchA and SwitchB.

  • The host uses SwitchA as the default gateway to connect to the Internet. When SwitchA becomes faulty, SwitchB functions as the gateway. This implements gateway backup.

  • After SwitchA recovers, it switches to the master to transmit data after a preemption delay of 20s.

In this scenario, to avoid loops, ensure that all connected interfaces have STP disabled and connected interfaces are removed from VLAN 1. If STP is enabled and VLANIF interfaces of switches are used to construct a Layer 3 ring network, an interface on the network will be blocked. As a result, Layer 3 services on the network cannot run normally.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Assign an IP address to each interface and configure a routing protocol to ensure network connectivity.
  2. Configure a VRRP group on SwitchA and SwitchB and set a higher priority for SwitchA so that SwitchA functions as the master to forward traffic. Then, set the preemption delay to 20s on SwitchA, and set a lower priority for SwitchB so that SwitchB functions as the backup.

Procedure

  1. Configure devices to ensure network connectivity.

    # Assign an IP address to each interface. SwitchA is used as an example. The configurations of SwitchB and SwitchC are similar to the configuration of SwitchA, and are not mentioned here. For details, see the configuration files.

  2. Configure VRRP groups.

    # Configure VRRP group 1 on SwitchA, and set the priority of SwitchA to 120 and the preemption delay to 20s.

    [SwitchA] interface vlanif 100
[SwitchA-Vlanif100] vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 10.1.1.111

    # Configure VRRP group 1 on SwitchB. SwitchB uses default value 100.

    [SwitchB] interface vlanif 100
[SwitchB-Vlanif100] vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 10.1.1.111
[SwitchB-Vlanif100] quit

  3. Verify the configuration.

    # After the configuration is complete, run the display vrrp command on SwitchA and SwitchB. You can see that SwitchA is in Master state and SwitchB is in Backup state.
