Configure the Exinda appliances for VRRP with PBR and IP SLA Tracking through the CLI

To use policy-based routing, the interfaces on the Exinda appliance must be configured with the appropriate settings.

  1. Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console.
  2. Type the appliance username and password at the prompts.
    • To enter privileged EXEC (enable) mode, at the prompt type the following command:

      hostname > enable

      The hostname # prompt is displayed.

    • To enter configuration (config) mode, at the prompt type the following commands:

      hostname # configure terminal

      The hostname (config)# prompt is displayed.

  3. Remove the BR10 bridge.

    hostname (config)# no bridge BR10 enable

  4. Set the IP address and netmask of the out-of-path Exinda appliance #1.

    hostname (config)# interface eth11 ip address 10.10.10.2 /8

  5. Identify the interface to be used for policy-based routing.

    hostname (config)# pbr interface eth11

  6. Set the IP address of the router.

    hostname (config)# pbr interface ip next-hop 10.10.10.1

  7. To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:

    hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp

    hostname (config)# interface eth11 display

    hostname (config)# interface eth11 duplex auto

    hostname (config)# interface eth11 mtu 1500

    hostname (config)# no interface eth11 shutdown

    hostname (config)# interface eth11 speed auto

  8. To set the VRRP parameters, type the following commands:

    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 delay 1

    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 enable

    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 priority 100

    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 vip 10.10.10.100

    hostname (config)# vrrp interface eth11 vrid 50

  9. Repeat these steps on the out-of-path Exinda appliance #2 using the appropriate IP address in Step 5.
