8.5 VRRP/HiVRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a procedure that enables
the system to react to the failure of a router.
VRRP is used in networks with terminal devices that only support one entry
for the default gateway. If the default gateway fails, VRRP ensures that the
terminal devices find a redundant gateway.
The Hirschmann company has further developed the VRRP into the
Hirschmann Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (HiVRRP). With the
appropriate configuration, HiVRRP guarantees maximum switching times of
400 ms.
Note: You will find detailed information on VRRP and HiVRRP in the
"Routing Configuration" user manual.
