19 Configuring VRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a standard router redundancy protocol supported in IP
version 4. It is based on RFC 2338 and provides redundancy by eliminating the single point of failure
inherent in a default route environment.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes VRRP and how to configure it through the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI
commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of commands, see the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.

• Virtual routers—see “Creating a Virtual Router” on page 19-8.
• IP addresses for virtual routers—see “Specifying an IP Address for a Virtual Router” on page 19-9.
• VRRP advertisement interval—see “Configuring the Advertisement Interval” on page 19-10.
• Virtual router priority—see “Configuring Virtual Router Priority” on page 19-10.
• Preempting virtual routers—see “Setting Preemption for Virtual Routers” on page 19-11.
• VRRP traps—see “Setting VRRP Traps” on page 19-12.
• VRRP tracking—see “Creating Tracking Policies” on page 19-13.
