Usage Guidelines

Before issuing this command, complete the configuration of the VRRP virtual router. The interface assigned to the Virtual Routing ID (VRID) does not provide backup service for the virtual IP address until you activate the VRRP configuration.

The no form of this command disables the VRRP VRID.

The following example configures and activates VRRP VRID 1. 

device# configure terminal
