Configuring with Web Based Management
5.6 The "Layer 3 (IPv4)" menu
● Master
If enabled, the numerically lowest IPv4 address is entered for "Associated IP Address".
This means that the numerically lowest IPv4 address of the VRRP router is used as the
virtual IP address of the virtual master router. The backup routers in this group must disable
the option and use the IPv4 address of the router in "Associated IP address".
● Priority
Enter the priority of this virtual router. Valid values are 1-254.
If an IPv4 address is assigned to the VRRPv3 router that is also actually configured on the
local IPv4 interface, the value 255 is entered automatically. All other priorities can be
distributed freely among the VRRPv3 routers. The higher the priority, the earlier the
VRRPv3 router becomes "Master".
● Advertisement interval
Enter the interval in seconds after which a master router sends a VRRPv3 packet again.
● Preempt lower priority Master.
Allow precedence when changing roles between backup and master based on the selection
process.
● VRRP Compatible Mode
When enabled, the VRRPv3 router also sends and receives VRRPv2 frames in addition to
VRRPv3 frames for configured IPv4 addresses. Only necessary when not all VRRP routers
support VRRPv3.
● Track ID
Select a track ID.
● Decrement Priority
Enter the value by which the priority of the VRRPv3 interface will be reduced.
● Current Priority
Shows the priority of the VRRPv3 interface after the monitored interface has changed to
the "down" status.
