How do I use the subject?
Currently, we want to build a VRRP configuration with other companies' devices using Catalyst3560
You can enable ip routing, create an SVI, and assign an IP address on the device.
However, you cannot configure VRRP for SVI
I tried a few commands and found that I can configure HSRP, but can't I configure VRRP?
version is 12.2(37).
In the link below, there was a description that has the function of VRRP, but the specific solution was not described.
https://www.cisco.com/c/ja_jp/td/docs/sw/lanswt-access/cat3560swt/cg/009/swcfg/swhsrp.html#47648
I think it is a fairly rough disclosure, but I want to know whether the VRRP function can be used on the C3560 in a hurry.
Thank you for your patience.
Solved! Go to Solution.

It is also mentioned in the referenced documentation.
At a minimum, the version that supports VRRP seems to be "12.2(58)SE". (You might also need to consider other things like Feature Sets, but at least they don't meet the version.) )
