Configuring Monitor Link 
Monitor Link overview 
Monitor Link is a port collaboration function. Monitor Link usually works together with Layer 2 topology 
protocols. The idea is to monitor the states of upli nk ports and adapt the up/down state of downlink ports 
to the up/down state of uplink ports, triggering link switchover on the downstream device in time, as 
shown in  Figure 28.

•  Downlink ports are the monitoring  ports. The state of the downlink ports in a monitor link group 
adapts to that of the monitor link group. When th e state of a monitor link group changes, the state 
of its member downlink ports change accordingly. The state of the downlink  ports in a monitor link 
group is always consistent with that of the monitor link group. 
Uplink/Downlink 
The uplink is the link that connects the uplink ports in  a monitor link group, and the downlink is the link 
that...

Configuring VRRP (available only on the HP 
5500 EI) 
•  The term  router in this document refers to both routers and Layer 3 switches. 
•   You can perform interface-specific VRRP configuration only on Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces, VLAN 
interfaces, and Layer 3 aggregate interfaces, unless  otherwise specified. You can set an Ethernet 
port as a Layer 3 interface by using the  port link-mode route command (see Layer 2—LAN 
Switching Configuration Guide ). 
•   VRRP cannot be configured on...

 126 
VRRP operates in either of the following modes: 
•  Standard protocol mode —Includes two versions VRRPv2 and  VRRPv3 based on RFCs. VRRPv2 is 
based on IPv4, and VRRPv3 is based on IPv6. Th e two versions implement the same functions but 
are applied in different network environments. For more information, see  VRRP standard protocol 
mode . 
•   Load balanc

ing mode —Extends the standard protocol mode  and realizes load balancing. For more 
information, see  VRRP load balancing mode .

 127 
A router in a VRRP group can be in master, backup, or initialize status. 
VRRP priority 
VRRP determines the role (master or backup) of each router in a VRRP group by priority. A router with a 
higher priority is more likely to become the master. 
VRRP priority is in the range of 0 to 255. The greater the number, the higher the priority. Priorities 1 to 
254 are configurable. Priority 0 is reserved for special uses and priority 255 for the IP address owner. 
When a router acts as the IP address...
