<b>Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol</b> (<b>VRRP</b>) is a computer networking protocol used for automatic default gateway selection for clients on a LAN network in case the main router (Master) becomes unavailable. Another VRRP router (Backup) then assumes the role of Master; thus backing up the connection.

The <b>VRRP Configuration</b> section lists VRRP instances currently existing on the device. By default the list is empty thus, you must first create at least one instance in order to begin configuring VRRP.

==Check Internet connection==


The <b>Check Internet connection</b> section is used to set the parameters that define how the router will determine whether the Internet connection is still available or not. This is done by periodically sending ICMP packets to a defined host and awaiting responses. If no response is received after a defined period of time, the connection is determined to be down, and thus the role of Master is assumed by another router in the network.

The <b>Check connection</b> section is used to set the parameters that  
define how the router will determine whether the connection is still  
available or not. This is done by periodically sending ICMP packets from interface,
configured in [[#link|VRRP Configuration]] section, to a defined  
host and awaiting responses. If no response is received after a defined period of  
time, the connection is determined to be down, and thus the role of Master is  
assumed by another router in the network.
