Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
In
Figure 43-7
, the fabric example has two virtual router groups (VR1 and VR 2) because a virtual router
cannot span across different types of interfaces. In both switch 1 and switch 2, the Ethernet interface is
in VR 1 and the FC interface is in VR 2. Each virtual router is uniquely identified by the VSAN interface
and the VR ID.
