24.6.4 Sample configuration<br />

Figure 24-3 shows a simple example network with two VRRP routers<br />

implementing one virtual router.<br />

RTR-1<br />

VRID=1 (master)<br />

Figure 24-3 VRRP simple configuration example<br />

This configuration shows a very simple VRRP scenario. In this configuration, the<br />

end hosts install a default route to the <strong>IP</strong> address of virtual router #1 (<strong>IP</strong> address<br />

9.180.20.3) <strong>and</strong> both routers run VRRP. The router on the left becomes the<br />

master for virtual router #1 (VRID=1), <strong>and</strong> the router on the right is the backup for<br />

virtual router #1. If the router on the left fails, the other router takes over virtual<br />

router #1 <strong>and</strong> its <strong>IP</strong> addresses, <strong>and</strong> provides uninterrupted service for the hosts.<br />

Note that in this example, <strong>IP</strong> address 9.180.20.4 is not backed up by the router<br />

on the left. <strong>IP</strong> address 9.180.20.4 is only used by the router on the right as its<br />

interface address. In order to back up <strong>IP</strong> address 9.180.20.4, a second virtual<br />

router needs to be configured. This is shown in Figure 24-4.<br />

VRID=1 (master)<br />
