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 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 CLI.

CAUTION! Configure your appliance using the IP addresses that correspond to your network. The IP addresses and netmasks used in this article are for demonstration purposes only.

Process

On the out-of-path Exinda appliance # 1, launch the Exinda web UI.

In the browser address field, type https://<Exinda_IP_address>.
Enter the username and password for the appliance.
Click Login.

The Exinda web UI displays.

Ensure you are in Advanced mode.

Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console.

Type the appliance username and password at the prompts.

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.

Remove the BR10 bridge:

hostname (config)# no bridge BR10 enable

Identify the VLAN interface:

hostname (config)# vlan vlan-id 10 interface eth11

Set the IP address and the netmask of eth11.10 on the out-of-path Exinda appliance #1:

hostname (config)# interface eth11.10 ip address 10.10.10.2 /8

Identify the interface to be used for PBR:

hostname (config)# pbr interface eth11.10

Set the IP address of the router:

hostname (config)# pbr interface eth11.10 ip next-hop 10.10.10.1

To set the parameters of eth11.10, 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

To set the VRRP parameters, type the following commands:

hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 delay 1

hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 enable

hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 priority 100

hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11.10 vip 10.10.10.100

hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth

Repeat the above steps on the out-of-path Exinda appliance #2.
