Thomwin, I'm not sure I follow: what are you saying one can do by typing in vrrp 1? That is an essential piece as far as I know to enabling a group for VRRP.

A Not So Elegant way is to type vrrp 1 syntax on the interface.
if you can't type vrrp 1, perhaps the solution prefer HSRP. :)
 
just a thought...

Hi,

Just looking for opinions and input.

Comparing HSRP and VRRP, I conclude:

VRRP has preempt on by default, therefore does not need it configured like HSRP does.
HSRP can use enhanced object tracking
(to track more than just line protocol up/down as follows)
track 100 interface serial1/0 ip routing
interface Ethernet0/0
standby 1 track 100 decrement 10
I do not see a command option for VRRP to use track, even though the enhanced object tracking documentation suggets there is. So I conclude VRRP cannot track the status of one of its interfaces like HSRP can.
To load balance between routers, HSRP and VRRP can have different groups to prefer different routers, but anything more sophisticated required GLBP
Any comments or other differentiators?

Chris
