Virtual Router Deployment Considerations
Review the issues described in this section to prevent network problems when deploying virtual
routers:
• Mixing Active-Standby and Active-Active Virtual Routers, page 567
• Eliminating Loops with STP and VLANs, page 568
• Assigning VRRP Virtual Router ID, page 569
• Configuring VRRP Peers for Synchronization, page 569
• Synchronizing Active/Active Failover, page 570
Mixing Active-Standby and Active-Active Virtual Routers
If your network environment can support sharing, enable it for all virtual routers in the LAN. If not,
use active-standby for all virtual routers. Do not mix active-active and active-standby virtual routers
in a LAN. Mixed configurations may result in unexpected operational characteristics, and is not
recommended.
