Configuring an Exinda Appliance for VRRP With PBR Using Exinda Web UI

Overview

To use VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) with PBR (Policy-Based Routing), the interfaces on the Exinda appliance must be configured with the appropriate settings, using the Exinda web UI or using CLI.

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure an Exinda appliance for VRRP with PBR using the Exinda web UI.

 

Process

  1. On the out-of-path Exinda appliance # 1, launch the Exinda web UI.
    1. In the browser address field, type https://<Exinda_IP_address>.
    2. Enter the username and password for the appliance.
    3. Click Login.
  • The Exinda web UI displays.
  • Ensure you are in Advanced mode.
  • Go to Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
  • In the Interface Settings area, clear the BR10 checkbox.
    • The bridge expands to display eth10 and eth11.
      NOTE: If a virtual appliance is hosting the Exinda appliance software, uncheck the BR2 option. The bridge expands to display eth2 and eth3.
  • Click Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
  • In the eth11 area, select PBR.
  • In the Static Addresses field, type the IP address and the netmask of the out-of-path Exinda appliance.
  • In the PBR Next-Hop Address field, type the IP address of the router.
  • Select Enable VRRP.
  • In the Virtual Router Address field, type the group IP address.
  • Click Apply Changes.
  • To save the changes to the configuration file, click Save in the status bar.
  • Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console to launch the command-line console.
    • To enter the privileged EXEC (enable) mode, run the following command at the prompt:

      hostname > enable
      • The hostname # prompt appears.
    • To enter the configuration (config) mode, run the following command at the prompt:

      hostname # configure terminal
      • The hostname (config)# prompt appears.
  • To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:

    hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp
    
hostname (config)# interface eth11 display
    
hostname (config)# interface eth11 duplex auto
    
hostname (config)# interface eth11 mtu 1500
    
hostname (config)# no interface eth11 shutdown
    
hostname (config)# interface eth11 speed auto
    
hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 delay 1
    
hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 priority 100
    
hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 vrid 50
  • Repeat these steps on eth10 on the out-of-path Exinda appliance #2.
