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

Overview

To use the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) with Policy-Based Routing (PBR) and VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), you should configure the interfaces on the Exinda appliance, using the Exinda web UI or the Command-Line Interface (CLI).

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure an Exinda appliance for VRRP with PBR and VLANs using the 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: Clear the BR2 checkbox if you are using an Exinda virtual appliance. The bridge expands to display eth2 and eth3.
  • Click Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
  • In the VLAN Settings area, select the eth11 interface, and type the id 10.
  • Click Add VLAN.
    • The eth11.10 interface is created.
  • In the eth11.10 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 on Apply Changes.
  • To save the changes to the configuration file, click Save in the status bar.
  • Go to Configuration > System > Tools > Console to launch the command-line console.
    • To enter the privileged EXEC (enable) mode, run the command:

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

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

    hostname (config)# no interface eth11.10 dhcp
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11.10 display
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11.10 duplex auto
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11.10 mtu 1500
    
    hostname (config)# no interface eth11.10 shutdown
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11.10 speed auto
    
    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 delay 1
    
    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 priority 100
    
    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 vrid 50
  • Repeat the above steps on eth10 on the out-of-path Exinda appliance #2.
