Introduction
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) 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.
This page contains a guide on how to configure VRRP on {{{name}}} routers. To see the manual page for VRRP, [[{{{name}}} VRRP|click here]].
