VRRP Support for IPv6

VRRP for IPv6 follows the same guidelines and limitations as VRRP for IPv4. If both IPv6 and IPv4 VRRP are configured, they must be symmetrical in terms of master state and fail over behavior.

To configure VRRP support for IPv6 on Gaia:

Step	Description
1	In Gaia Clish, run this command to enable IPv6: `Hostname> set ipv6-state on`
2	Configure a VIP address for each VRRP IPv6 group: Configure a link-local VIP address for the VRRP IPv6 group. Run: `MyGW> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface VALUE monitored-circuit vrid VALUE address VALUE on` Example: `Hostname> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface eth2.10 monitored-circuit vrid 11 address fe80::250:56ff:fea3:4321 on` Note - Configure a link-local address that is on the same subnet as the hosts. Configure a link-global VIP address for the VRRP IPv6 group. Run: `Hostname> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface VALUE vrid VALUE address VALUE on` For example: `MyGW> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface eth2.10 vrid 11 address 2610:18:8104:1A::5 on`
3	Run this command to save the configuration: `Hostname> save config`

Step

Description

In Gaia Clish, run this command to enable IPv6:

Hostname> set ipv6-state on

Configure a VIP address for each VRRP IPv6 group:

Configure a link-local VIP address for the VRRP IPv6 group. Run:
MyGW> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface VALUE monitored-circuit vrid VALUE address VALUE on

Example:

Hostname> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface eth2.10 monitored-circuit vrid 11 address fe80::250:56ff:fea3:4321 on

Note - Configure a link-local address that is on the same subnet as the hosts.
Configure a link-global VIP address for the VRRP IPv6 group. Run:
Hostname> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface VALUE vrid VALUE address VALUE on

For example:

MyGW> set ipv6 vrrp6 interface eth2.10 vrid 11 address 2610:18:8104:1A::5 on

Run this command to save the configuration:

Hostname> save config

To verify the configuration:

In the Gaia Portal, go to High Availability > IPv6 VRRP
In the Gaia Clish, run: show ipv6 vrrp interfaces
