Configuring VRRP
Note. The same VRRP configuration must be set up on each OmniSwitch 6800 stack. The VRRP router
that contains, or owns, the IP address will automatically become the master for that virtual router. If the IP
address is a virtual address, the virtual router with the highest priority will become the master router.
In this scenario, the master of VRID 1 will respond to ARP requests for IP address A using the virtual
router MAC address for VRID 1 (00:00:5E:00:01:01). OmniSwitch 1 is the master for VRID 1 since it
contains the physical interface to which 10.10.2.3 is assigned. If OmniSwitch A should become unavail-
able, OmniSwitch B will become master for VRID 1.
In the same way, the master of VRID 2 will respond to ARP requests for IP address B using the virtual
router MAC address for VRID 2 (00:00:5E:00:01:02). OmniSwitch B is the master for VRID 2 since it
contains the physical interface to which 10.10.2.245 is assigned. If OmniSwitch B should become unavail-
able, OmniSwitch A will become master for 10.10.2.245. This configuration provides uninterrupted
service for the end hosts.
