# 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 case the default “ master” router fails. You can configure VRRP on IP/Ethernet interfaces.

For information about configuring VRRP, see JunosE Services Availability Configuration Guide.
