Figure 12-2 Symmetrical VRRP configuration
In this configuration, half the hosts use 10.0.0.1/16 as their default route, and half use 10.0.0.2/16. IP address
10.0.0.1/16 is associated with virtual router
VRID=1
, and IP address 10.0.0.2/16 is associated with virtual router
VRID=2 .
If Router R1, the Master for virtual router VRID=1 , goes down, Router R2 would take over the IP address 10.0.0.1/16.
Similarly, if Router R2, the Master for virtual router
VRID=2
, goes down, Router R1 would take over the IP address
10.0.0.2/16.
Configuration of Router R1
The following is the configuration file for Router R1 in Figure 12-2 .
Router R1 is the owner of IP address 10.0.0.1/16. Line 4 associates this IP address with virtual router
VRID=1
, so
Router R1 is the Master for virtual router
VRID=1
.
On line 5, Router R1 associates IP address 10.0.0.2/16 with virtual router
VRID=2
. However, since Router R1 does not
own IP address 10.0.0.2/16, it is not the default Master for virtual router
VRID=2
.
