NETGEAR GSM7248R Supplement Manual page 2

CASE 1 – Configuration
For this example, we have two Internet connections provided by DGFV338 modem/routers;
Router 1 will be the default connection path, and Router 2 will offer connectivity in the event that
Switch 1 is not accessible by the hosts of the network.
Each switch will use two different VLANs, one to communicate with the access layer switch, and
one to communicate with their gateway.
All the hosts will be in the 192.168.2.0 network, the Virtual Router address will be configured to
be 192.168.2.24
NOTE: VRRP can use the IP address of one of the physical interfaces as the Virtual Router IP. In
this case, VRRP could use the IP address 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.2.24. Whether to use a
third address for the virtual interface or not is down to personal preference – but please note that
in this case the router with the IP address of the virtual interface would always be master as long
as it is running.
