VRRP/HiVRRP

5.3 HiVRRP Domains

In large, flat network structures, HiVRRP domains enable you to
switch over all HiVRRP routers very quickly in the case of redundancy
use the available bandwidth more effectively
configure more than 16 VRRP router interfaces for each router using
HiVRRP
operate Multicast-sensitive terminal devices in large HiVRRP networks
A HiVRRP instance is a router interface configured as HiVRRP with functions
that HiVRRP contains. In a HiVRRP domain you combine multiple HiVRRP
instances of a router into one administrative unit. You nominate one HiVRRP
instance as the supervisor of the HiVRRP domain. This supervisor regulates
the behavior of all HiVRRP instances in its domain.
The supervisor sends its advertisements on behalf of all HiVRRP
instances in its domain.
The supervisor puts itself and the other HiVRRP instances together into
the master role or the backup role.
See fig. 17 for an example of a flat network structure. All cross-VLAN data
streams pass through the ring.
