Setting up the VRRP router instance
Before you set up a VRRP instance, verify that network routing functions
properly and set the IP addresses on the router interfaces used for the
VRRP instances.
In the
Routing > L3-Redundancy > VRRP > VRRP Configuration
dialog, click the "Wizard" button.
At the bottom of the "VRRP Configuration" dialog, select an interface
port from the "Port" drop-down list and enter the virtual router ID in the
"VRID" text box. The device allows you to configure up to 8 virtual
routers.
Click the "Next" button.
Open the "VRRP" tab. In the "Configuration" frame set the appropriate
values for the following parameters:
–"Priority"
– "Preempt mode"
Preempt mode Activates/deactivates the preempt mode. This setting specifies whether
this router, as a backup router, takes over the master router role when the
master router has a lower VRRP priority.
Possible values:
unmarked
When you disable the preempt mode, this router assumes the role of
a backup router and listens for master router advertisements. After the
master down interval expires, without receiving advertisements from
the master router, this router participates in the master router election
process.
marked
(default setting)
When you enable the preempt mode, this router takes the master
router role from a router with a lower VRRP priority without waiting for
an election.
VRRP Master
Candidate

When the interface has several specified IP addresses, then the
parameter allows the user to select an IP address as the "Master IP
Address".
Possible values:

0.0.0.0
)
The default setting
0.0.0.0
indicates that the router is using the lower
IP address as the "Master IP Address".
