Configuring a Switch for VRRP With PBR and VLANs

Overview

To use the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) with Policy-Based Routing (PBR) and VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), you should specify the behavior of the switch interfaces connecting to the router and the out-of-path Exinda appliances.

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure a switch for VRRP with PBR and VLANs.

 

Process

  1. Launch the CLI for the switch.
  • To enter the privileged EXEC (enable) mode, run the following command:

    hostname > enable
    • The hostname # prompt appears.

  • To enter the configuration (config) mode, run the following command:

    hostname # configure terminal
    • The hostname (config)# prompt appears.
  • Configure the interface to the router:

    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk
  • Configure the interface to Exinda appliance #1:

    interface GigabitEthernet0/2
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk
  • Configure the interface to Exinda appliance #2:

    interface GigabitEthernet0/3
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport mode trunk
  • Set the IP addresses for the VLANs:

    interface Vlan10
    no ip address
    interface Vlan20
    no ip address
