activate (VSRP)

Activates the Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) Virtual Router ID (VRID) for a port-based VLAN.
Syntax
activate
no activate
Command Default

The VRID is not activated by default.

Modes

VSRP VRID configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The device must be set as a backup. Because VSRP does not have an owner, all VSRP devices are backups. The active device for a VRID is elected based on the VRID priority, which is configurable.

The no form of the command deactivates the VSRP VRID on the VLAN.

Examples

The following example shows how to activate the VSRP on a VLAN. 

device(config)# vlan 200
device(config-vlan-200)# tag ethernet 1/1/1 to 1/1/8
device(config-vlan-200)# vsrp vrid 1
device(config-vlan-200-vrid-1)# backup
device(config-vlan-200-vrid-1)# activate
