VRRP Commands

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) use a virtual IP address to support a
primary router and multiple backup routers. The backup routers can be configured
to take over the workload if the master router fails, or can also be configured to
share the traffic load. The primary goal of router redundancy is to allow a host
device which has been configured with a fixed gateway to maintain network
connectivity in case the primary gateway goes down.
To configure VRRP, select an interface on each router in the group that will
participate in the protocol as the master router or a backup router. To select a
specific device as the master router, set the address of this interface as the virtual
router address for the group. Now set the same virtual address and a priority on the
backup routers, and configure an authentication string. You can also enable the
preempt feature which allows a router to take over as the master router when it
comes on line if it has a higher priority than the currently active master router.
