Configuring VRRP

The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) can prevent loss of network connectivity to end hosts if the static default IP gateway fails. By implementing VRRP, you can designate a number of routers as "backup" routers in the event that the default "master" router fails. You can configure VRRP on IP/Ethernet interfaces.

For information on configuring VRRP, see ERX Routing Protocols Configuration Guide, Vol. 1, Chapter 10, Configuring VRRP.
