events, which result in a switching of the operating status of the virtual router.
Controlling the operating status of a virtual router implicitly also controls the operating
status of the interface to which the virtual router is linked. If an error occurs, all interfaces
on a device have to be deactivated. Consequently, the operating status of all interfaces
on a device must be synchronised. This synchronisation is required if multiple interfaces
are monitored on a single device. This configuration is performed in the Local Services-
>BRRP->VR Synchronisation->New menu.
• Switching on the redundancy procedure. This configuration is performed in the Local
Services->BRRP->Options menu.
You configure the advertisement interface and the virtual interface(s) in the Local
Services->BRRP->Virtual Router->New menu. You must configure the same virtual
routers with the same interfaces on all physical routers involved in the redundancy proced-
ure. (However, the virtual routers have different priorities on the various physical routers.)

Description
Choose the interface via which BRRP advertisement packets
are sent and expected.
If you edit a Virtual Router, the Ethernet interface is displayed
and cannot be changed.
Note: The Ethernet interface for sending the advertisements is
always up and running and cannot therefore be used as the Vir-
tual Router Interface.
Shows the IP address(es) of the interface via which BRRP ad-
vertisement packets are sent and expected.
Description
Indicates on which physical interface the virtual interface is
based, if a new virtual interface is created. The name of the vir-
tual interface is assigned automatically when it is created.
Shows the name of the virtual interface, if a virtual interface that
