Note.
The same VRRP configuration must be set up on each OmniSwitch 6624/6648 stack. The VRRP
router that contains, or owns, the IP address will automatically become the master for that virtual router. If
the IP address is a virtual address, the virtual router with the highest priority will become the master
router.
In this scenario, the master of VRID 1 will respond to ARP requests for IP address A using the virtual
router MAC address for VRID 1 (00:00:5E:00:01:01). OmniSwitch 1 is the master for VRID 1 since it
contains the physical interface to which 10.10.2.3 is assigned. If OmniSwitch A should become unavail-
able, OmniSwitch B will become master for VRID 1.
In the same way, the master of VRID 2 will respond to ARP requests for IP address B using the virtual
router MAC address for VRID 2 (00:00:5E:00:01:02). OmniSwitch B is the master for VRID 2 since it
contains the physical interface to which 10.10.2.245 is assigned. If OmniSwitch B should become unavail-
able, OmniSwitch A will become master for 10.10.2.245. This configuration provides uninterrupted
service for the end hosts.
