VRRP Configuration
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on
GbE Switch Module
s provides redun-
dancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP
address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual
routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control
of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will
assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
By default, VRRP is disabled. Alteon OS has extended VRRP to include virtual servers as
well, allowing for full active/active redundancy between switches. For more information on
VRRP, see the “High Availability” chapter in the Alteon OS
Application Guide.
