About VRRP
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a networking protocol used to configure devices as a
hot standby for a primary router, where a backup device will only start routing traffic after the
network detects that the primary device is offline (using parameters set by VRRP).
Configuring VRRP
To link multiple devices together, each must be configured with the same Router ID within aView.
Refer to the following step-by-step guidance for more information:
1. Expand Network > VRRP.
2. In the Add VRRP Instance text field, enter a name for the entry.
3. Enable the instance.
4. Specify an Interface—this will typically be set to LAN, meaning all four LAN ports.
5. Set the Router ID to match the number designated for this instance.
6. Priority establishes the order in which backup devices step in for offline routers.
7. The Password is a shared string of characters that must be entered for each device to
authorize its integration into the VRRP instance.
Note A higher number establishes higher priority. Refer to the Creating new interfaces for more info
on custom interfaces.
