Figure 9-44. VRRP Router Configuration
The VRRP Router Configuration page contains the following fields:
• VRID and Interface — Select Create from the drop-down menu to configure a new Virtual Router, or
select one of the existing Virtual Routers, listed by interface number and VRID.
• VRID — This field is only configurable if you are creating new Virtual Router, in which case enter the
VRID in the range 1 to 255.
• Interface — This field is only configurable if you are creating new Virtual Router, in which case select
the interface for the new Virtual Router from the drop-down menu.
• Pre-empt Mode — Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. If you select Enable, a backup
router preempts the master router if it has a priority greater than the master virtual router's priority
provided the master is not the owner of the virtual router IP address. The default is Enable.
• Configured Priority — Enter the priority value to be used by the VRRP router in the election for the
master virtual router. If the Virtual IP Address is the same as the interface IP Address, the priority gets
set to 255 no matter what you enter. If you enter a priority of 255 when the Virtual and interface IP
Addresses are not the same, the priority gets set to the default value of 100.
