Enable VRRP

Check this box to enable VRRP functions. The box is not checked by default.

Group ID

Enter a number that uniquely identifies this group of redundant VPN Concentrators. This number must
be the same on all systems in this group. Use a number from 1 (default) to 255 . Since there is rarely
more than one virtual group on a LAN, we suggest you accept the default.

Group Password

Enter a password for additional security in identifying this group of redundant VPN Concentrators.
Maximum 8 characters. The Manager shows your entry in clear text, and VRRP advertisements contain
this password in clear text. This password must be the same on all systems in this group. Leave this field
blank to use no password.

Role

Click the drop-down menu button and select the role of this VPN Concentrator in this redundant group.

Advertisement Interval

Enter the time interval in seconds between VRRP advertisements to other systems in this group. Only
the Master system sends advertisements; this field is ignored on Backup systems while they remain
Backup. Minimum is 1 (default), maximum is 255 seconds. Since a Backup system can become a Master
system, we suggest you accept the default for all systems.

Group Shared Addresses

Enter the IP addresses that are treated as configured router addresses by all virtual routers in this group.
The Manager displays fields only for the Ethernet interfaces that have been configured.
On the Master system, these entries are the IP addresses configured on its Ethernet interfaces, and the
Manager supplies them by default.
On a Backup system, the fields are empty by default, and you must enter the same IP addresses as those
on the Master system.

1 (Private)

The IP address for the Ethernet 1 (Private) interface shared by the virtual routers in this group.
