• Status—Select to enable VRRP on the device.
• Version—Select the version of VRRP to be used on this router.
• IP Address Owner—If Ye s is checked, this indicates that the IP address of the device 
is the IP address of the virtual router. Select the IP addresses of the owner from the 
Available IP Address list and move it to the Owner IP Address list.
If No is checked, you must enter the address(es) of the virtual router in the Virtual 
Router IP Addresses field. If multiple IP addresses are added here, separate them as 
follows: 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2.
• Source IP Address—Select the IP address to be used in VRRP messages. The default 
source IP address is the lowest of the IP addresses defined on the interface.
• Priority—If this device is the owner, this field gets the value 255, and this value cannot 
be changed. If not, enter the priority of this device, based on its ability to function as a 
master. 100 is the default for a non-owner device.
• Preempt Mode—Select one of the following options:
- True—When a VRRP router is configured with higher priority than the current 
master is up, it replaces the current master.
- False—Even if a VRRP router with a higher priority than the current master is up, 
it does not replace the current master. Only the original master (when it becomes 
available) replaces the backup.
• Accept Control Mode—Select one of the following options:
- Accept—The virtual router in Master state will accept packets addressed to the IP 
address of the Virtual router as its own even if it is not the address owner.
- Drop—The virtual router in Master state will drop packets addressed to the Virtual 
router IP address if it is not the address owner.
• IP SLA Track—Select to enable tracking of connectivity from the router to the next 
hop of the default route. 
• Tracking Object—Enter the number of the SLA track that verifies the connectivity. 
This value was entered in the SLA Tracks page.
• Decrement—If the track object state is down, the VRRP priority of the router is 
decremented by this value.
• Advertisement Interval—Enter how frequently advertisement packets are sent.
NOTE If these parameters are changed (Edit), the virtual router is modified and a new 
message is sent with the new parameters.
