Field Description
VRRP router
“A router that uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol. It
can be integrated into one or more “virtual routers”.”
Virtual Router “An abstract object controlled by the VRRP, which is used as
default router for the hosts of a LAN. It comprises a Virtual
Router Identifier (Virtual Router ID) and an IP address or a
group of associated IP addresses in a common LAN. A VRRP
router can protect the data traffic of one or more virtual routers.”
IP Address Owner
“The VRRP router that possesses the IP address(es) of the vir-
tual router as real interface address(es). This is the router that –
if active - answers packets for ICMP pings, TCP connections,
etc. to one of these IP addresses.”
Primary IP Address
“An IP address that is selected from the group of real interface
addresses. A possible algorithm option is the selection of the
first address. VRRP advertisements are always sent with the
primary IP address as source of the IP packet.”
