5. Review the following VRRP configuration data to assess if a new VRRP configuration is required

or if an existing VRRP configuration requires modification or removal:

VRRP version 3 (RFC 5798) and 2 (RFC 3768) are selectable to set the router redundancy. Version
3 supports sub-second (centisecond) VRRP failover and support services over virtual IP. For more
information on the VRRP protocol specifications (available publicly) refer to

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3768.txt

(version 2) and

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5798.txt

(version 3).

Virtual Router ID

Lists a numerical index (from 1 - 254) used to differentiate VRRP configurations. The index is
assigned when a VRRP configuration is initially defined. This ID identifies the virtual router a packet
is reporting status for.

Description

Displays a description assigned to the VRRP configuration when it was either created or modified.
The description is implemented to provide additional differentiation beyond the numerical virtual
router ID.

Virtual IP Addresses

Lists the virtual interface IP address used as the redundant gateway address for the virtual route.

Interface

Displays the interfaces selected on the access point to supply VRRP redundancy failover support.

Priority

Lists a numerical value (from 1 - 254) used for the virtual router master election process. The
higher the numerical value, the higher the priority in the election process.
