Configuring VSRP Fast Start Globally

VSRP fast start enables non-RUCKUS ICX or non-VSRP-aware devices that are connected to a RUCKUS ICX device which is the VSRP Master to quickly switch over to the new Master when VSRP failover occurs.
As a prerequisite, VSRP must be enabled.
VSRP fast start can be enabled on a VSRP-configured device, either on a VLAN to which the VRID of the VSRP-configured device belongs (globally) or on a port that belongs to the VRID.
  1. On any device on which you want to configure, from privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode by issuing the configure terminal command. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Configure a VLAN by assigning an ID to the VLAN. 
    device(config)# vlan 100
  3. Assign a VSRP VRID to the VLAN. 
    device(config-vlan-100)# vsrp vrid 100
  4. Enable VSRP fast start. Globally configure a VSRP-configured device to shut down its ports when a failover occurs, and restart after a specified time (time range is from 1 through 120 seconds). This will shut down all the ports that belong to the VLAN having the specified VRID when failover occurs. 
    device(config-vlan-100-vrid-100)# restart-ports 5
  5. Verify the configuration using the show vsrp vrid command. 
    device# show vsrp vrid 100
VLAN 100
  auth-type no authentication
  VRID 100
