Figure 6-77 VRRP Virtual Router Settings window
Description
Displays the IP interface used to create a VRRP entry.
Specifies the virtual router's IP address used. This IP address is also the default gateway
that will be statically assigned to end hosts and must be set for all routers that participate
in this group.
Specifies the priority to be used for the Virtual Router Master election process
This entry will determine the behavior of backup routers within the VRRP group by
controlling whether a higher priority backup router will preempt a lower priority Master
router. A True entry, along with having the backup router's priority set higher than the
masters priority, will set the backup router as the Master router. A False entry will disable
the backup router from becoming the Master router. This setting must be consistent with
all routers participating within the same VRRP group.
Specifies the state of checking the status (active or inactive) of a critical IP address.
Options to choose from are Enabled and Disabled.
Specifies the ID of the Virtual Router used. All routers participating in this group must be
assigned the same VRID value. This value must be different from other VRRP groups set
on the Switch.
Specifies the state of the virtual router function of the interface.
Specifies the time interval used between sending advertisement messages.
Specifies an IP address of the physical device that will provide the most direct route to the
Internet or other critical network connections from this virtual router. This must be a real
IP address of a real device on the network. If the connection from the virtual router to this
IP address fails, the virtual router will automatically disabled. A new Master will be elected
from the backup routers participating in the VRRP group. Different critical IP addresses
may be assigned to different routers participating in the VRRP group, and can therefore
define multiple routes to the Internet or other critical network connections.
