VRID (1-255)
IP Address
State
Priority (1-254)
Use the drop-down menu to 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. If True is selected, and the backup router's priority is higher than
the Master's priority, the backup router will become the Master router. If False is
selected, the backup router with higher priority will not become the Master router. This
setting must be consistent with all routers participating within the same VRRP group.
Enter an IP address of the physical device that provides 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 chosen from the backup routers in the same VRRP group. Different critical IP
addresses may be assigned to different routers in the same VRRP group, and can
therefore define multiple routes to the Internet or other critical network connections.
Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable checking the status of a critical IP
address.

Description
Enter the IP interface name used to create a VRRP entry.
Enter the ID of the virtual router. All the 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.
Enter the virtual router's IP address. 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.
Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable the state of the virtual router function of
the interface.
Enter the priority to be used for the Virtual Router Master election process. The VRRP
Priority value may determine if a higher priority VRRP router overrides a lower priority
VRRP router. A higher priority increases the possibility to become the Master router of
the group. A lower priority increases the possibility to become the backup router. For
VRRP routers with the same priority value, the VRRP router with the highest physical
IP address is chosen to be the Master router.
