VRRP Overview
VRRP allows the routers on a LAN to backup a default route. VRRP dynamically assigns responsibility
for a virtual router to a physical router (VRRP router) on the LAN. The virtual router is associated with an
IP address (or set of IP addresses) on the LAN. A virtual router master is elected to forward packets for the
virtual router’s IP address. If the master router becomes unavailable, the highest priority backup router will
transition to the master state.

IP address (or set of IP addresses) on the LAN. A virtual router master is elected to forward packets for the

Note. The IP address that is backed up may be the IP address of a physical router, or it may be a virtual IP
address.

would be used in an actual network.
In this example, each physical router is configured with a virtual router, VRID 1 which is associated with
IP address A. OmniSwitch A is the master router because it contains the physical interface to which IP
address A is assigned. OmniSwitch B is the backup router. The client is configured with a gateway address
of IP A.
IP address A. OmniSwitch A is the master router because it contains the physical interface to which IP
address A is assigned. OmniSwitch B is the backup router. The client is configured with a gateway address
of IP A.
When VRRP is configured on these switches, and both the switches are available, OmniSwitch A will
respond to ARP requests for IP address A using the virtual router’s MAC address (00:00:5E:00:01:01)
instead of the physical MAC address assigned to the interface. OmniSwitch A will accept packets sent to
the virtual MAC address and forward them as appropriate; it will also accept packets addressed to IP
address A (such as ICMP ping requests).
