Chapter 32. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
The
NE2552E
Flex
Switch
(NE2552E)
supports
IPv4
high
‐
availability
network
topologies
through
an
enhanced
implementation
of
the
Virtual
Router
Redundancy
Protocol
(VRRP).
Note:
Lenovo
ENOS
8.4
does
not
support
IPv6
for
VRRP.
The
following
topics
are
discussed
in
this
chapter:
.
This
section
discusses
VRRP
operation
and
Lenovo
ENOS
redundancy
configurations.
.
This
section
describes
the
three
modes
of
high
availability.
This
section
describes
VRRP
enhancements
implemented
in
Lenovo
ENOS.
.
This
section
describes
issues
to
consider
when
deploying
virtual
routers.
.
This
section
discusses
the
more
useful
and
easily
deployed
redundant
configurations.
VRRP Overview
In
a
high
‐
availability
network
topology,
no
device
can
create
a
single
point
‐
of
‐
failure
for
the
network
or
force
a
single
point
‐
of
‐
failure
to
any
other
part
of
the
network.
This
means
that
your
network
will
remain
in
service
despite
the
failure
of
any
single
device.
To
achieve
this
usually
requires
redundancy
for
all
vital
network
components.
VRRP
enables
redundant
router
configurations
within
a
LAN,
providing
alternate
router
paths
for
a
host
to
eliminate
single
points
‐
of
‐
failure
within
a
network.
Each
participating
VRRP
‐
capable
routing
device
is
configured
with
the
same
virtual
router
IPv4
address
and
ID
number.
One
of
the
virtual
routers
is
elected
as
the
master,
based
on
a
number
of
priority
criteria,
and
assumes
control
of
the
shared
virtual
router
IPv4
address.
If
the
master
fails,
one
of
the
backup
virtual
routers
will
take
control
of
the
virtual
router
IPv4
address
and
actively
process
traffic
addressed
to
it.
With
VRRP,
Virtual
Interface
Routers
(VIR)
allow
two
VRRP
routers
to
share
an
IP
interface
across
the
routers.
VIRs
provide
a
single
Destination
IPv4
(DIP)
address
for
upstream
routers
to
reach
various
servers,
and
provide
a
virtual
default
Gateway
for
the
server
blades.
