Chapter 19 Configuring Vrrp; In This Chapter - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Manual

The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a standard router redundancy protocol supported in IP
version 4. It is based on RFC 2338 and provides redundancy by eliminating the single point of failure
inherent in a default route environment.

commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of commands, see the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
