12.2.6 Configuring VRRP
Purpose
To enable and configure the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). This protocol eliminates
the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment by transferring the
responsibility from one router to another if the original router goes down. VRRP-enabled routers
decide who will become master and who will become backup in the event the master fails.
