3.3 How to configure VRRP to provide hosts with a redundant
gateway
This example shows how to configure gateway redundancy. Virtual
Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a feature that allows two
gateways to use the same IP address. This allows hosts in the local
network continues access to the Internet in the event of a failure on one
of the gateways.

Note:
All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article.
Please replace them with your actual network IP addresses and subnet masks.
Only the GS/XGS/XS3700 Series Switch and XGS4600 Series Switch supports VRRP.
The L2 Switch can be any Zyxel switch using default configurations.
This example relies on two different Internet Service Providers (ISP) for Internet
access.
All UI displayed in this article are taken from the XGS4600 series switch.
This feature is for L2+/ L3 capable switches only.
