Yes
– If you are not using managed switches, this mode will allow remote devices to reconnect faster to
the backup unit in the event of an outage. This is because local ARP tables will not need to expire and
reacquire different MAC addresses for the shared IP.
IP Address (Required):
Specify the IP address of the virtual server. This value must not be currently assigned
to any other network interface on the subnet. Furthermore, this value must match in any VRRP partner’s
configuration for redundancy to operate correctly.
Group ID (Required):
Specify the ID number of the virtual server. This value must match in any VRRP
partner’s configuration for redundancy to operate correctly. Multiple VRRP Virtual interfaces can operate on the
same subnet, as long as each set of redundant partners uses a different ID.
Priority:
Specify the priority to use in VRRP negotiations. Valid values are 1-255.
Note:
If this is the “Master” device, the priority should be sent higher than the “Backup” device.
Peer Notification Interval (seconds):
Specify the amount of time, in seconds, between VRRP broadcast
packets.
Once you have entered the desired default settings for the VRRP, click on the
