VRRP
This chapter shows you how to configure and monitor the Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP) on the Switch.
30.1 VRRP Overview
Each host on a network is configured to send packets to a statically configured default gateway
(this Switch). The default gateway can become a single point of failure. Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), defined in RFC 2338, allows you to create redundant backup
gateways to ensure that the default gateway of a host is always available.
In VRRP, a virtual router (VR) represents a number of physical layer-3 devices. An IP address
is associated with the virtual router. A layer-3 device having the same IP address is the
preferred master router while the other Layer-3 devices are the backup routers. The master
router forwards traffic for the virtual router. When the master router becomes unavailable, a
backup router assumes the role of the master router until the master router comes back up and
takes over.
The following figure shows a VRRP network example with the switches (
A
and
B
)
implementing one virtual router
VR1
to ensure the link between the host
X
and the uplink
gateway
G
. Host
X
is configured to use
VR1
(192.168.1.20) as the default gateway. If switch
A
has a higher priority, it is the master router. Switch
B
, having a lower priority, is the backup
router.
