REDUNDANCY
Redundancy
VRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a computer networking protocol that allows a backup router or
switch to automatically take over if the primary (master) router or switch fails. This increases the availability and
reliability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections on an IP network.
■ Enable: Enable or Disable the VRRP function.
■ Virtual Server ID: Means Group ID. Specify the ID number of the virtual server.
■ Priority of Virtual Server: Specify the priority to use in VRRP negotiations. Valid values are 1-254, and a
larger value has higher priority.
■ Virtual Server IP Address: Specify the IP address of the virtual server.
