Configuring VRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate the
6400-S as a single point of failure in a network configuration. Two 6400-S
devices can be configured to perform as a redundant pair. One 6400-S is the
Master, the other is the Backup. If the Master fails because of a network or
hardware failure, the Backup takes over for the Master.
