Adding Virtual Router IP Addresses

</h1>
<a name="wp1075186"> </a><p class="pBody">
One virtual router IP address can be configured for a virtual router. If the configured IP address is the 
same as the interface IP address, this switch automatically owns the IP address. You can configure either 
an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.

</p>
<a name="wp1075187"> </a><p class="pBody">
According to the VRRP specification, the master VRRP router drops the packets addressed to the virtual 
router&#39;s IP address because the virtual router is only intended as a next-hop router to forward packets. In 
MDS switches however, some applications require that packets addressed to virtual router&#39;s IP address 
be accepted and delivered to them. By using the <b class="cBold">secondary</b> option to the virtual router IPv4 address, the 
VRRP router will accept these packets when it is the master.
