7.6.2 HiVRRP domains
A HiVRRP instance is a router instance configured as HiVRRP with functions
that HiVRRP contains. In a HiVRRP domain you combine multiple HiVRRP
instances of a router into one administrative unit. You nominate one HiVRRP
instance as the supervisor of the HiVRRP domain. This supervisor regulates
the behavior of all HiVRRP instances in its domain.
The router supports up to 8 domains.
Displaying HiVRRP domains
HiVRRP domain instances at different ports
If domain instances (members) are divided among different physical
ports, the default setting is that the router only monitors the supervisor's
connection for line interruptions (“Redundancy check per member”
deactivated).
You have the option of activating the monitoring of the other connections
within the domain for line interruptions. Monitoring means that the router
sends HiVRRP advertisements when it detects a line interruption. If there
is a low probability of a line interruption, you select a long HiVRRP
advertisement interval (see on page 209 “VRRP instance settings“) in
order to minimize the network load.
