Configuring VRRP

Configuring VRRP

* Advanced License Required *

VRRP is an advanced routing feature that must be enabled with a license key. If you have purchased an advanced license key, and have enabled routing on the device, you must activate your license as described in the chapter entitled “Activating Licensed Features” in order to enable the VRRP command set. If you wish to purchase an advanced routing license, contact Enterasys Networks Sales.

Purpose

To enable and configure the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). This protocol eliminates the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment by transferring the responsibility from one router to another if the original router goes down. VRRP‐enabled routers decide who will become master and who will become backup in the event the master fails.
