Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Commands

To configure VRRP, select an interface on one router in the group to serve as the master virtual router. This physical interface is used as the virtual address for the router group. Now set the same virtual address and a priority on the backup routers, and configure an authentication string. You can also enable the preempt feature which allows a router to take over as the master router when it comes on line.
