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

To enter the privileged EXEC (enable) mode, run the following command:
```
hostname > enable
```

To enter the configuration (config) mode, run the following command:
```
hostname # configure terminal
```

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
