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.
2. Configure the interface to the router:
   
   

   interface GigabitEthernet0/1
   
   switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
   
   switchport mode trunk

3. Configure the interface to Exinda appliance #1:
   
   

   interface GigabitEthernet0/2
   
   switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
   
   switchport mode trunk

4. Configure the interface to Exinda appliance #2:
   
   

   interface GigabitEthernet0/3
   
   switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
   
   switchport mode trunk

5. Set the IP addresses for the VLANs:
   
   

   interface Vlan10
   no ip address
   interface Vlan20
   no ip address
