Avaya G430 Manual page 476

The router
• The Main router advertises a six-byte Virtual MAC address, in the format
00.00.5E.00.01.02 VRID, as a response to the stations' ARP requests
• The redundant router uses a VRRP polling protocol to check the Main router integrity at
one-second intervals (default). Otherwise, it is idle.
• If the Main router fails, the redundant router that does not receive a response from four
consecutive polling requests (default) takes over and starts to advertise the same Virtual
MAC for ARP requests. Therefore, the stations will not detect any change either in the
configured default gateway or at the MAC level.
• VRRP has no provisions for routing database synchronization among the redundant
routers. You must perform this manually, if needed.
