Chapter 41 VRRP Commands (License Required)
The Virtual Router Redundancy protocol is designed to handle default router failures by providing
a scheme to dynamically elect a backup router. The driving force was to minimize “black hole”
periods due to the failure of the default gateway router during which all traffic directed towards it is
lost until the failure is detected. Though static configuration of default routes is popular, such an
approach is susceptible to a single point of failure when the default router fails. VRRP advocates
the concept of a “virtual router” associated with one or more IP addresses that serve as default
gateways. In the event that the VRRP router controlling these IP addresses (formally known as the
Master) fails, the group of IP addresses and the default forwarding role is taken over by a Backup
VRRP router.
