8. If creating a new VRRP configuration, assign a Virtual Router ID from (1 - 255). In addition to

functioning as numerical identifier, the ID identifies the virtual router a packet is reporting
status for.

9. Define the following VRRP General parameters:

Description

In addition to an ID assignment, a virtual router configuration can be assigned a textual
description (up to 64 characters) to further distinguish it from others with a similar
configuration.

Priority

Use the spinner control to set a VRRP priority setting from 1 - 254. The controller or service
platform uses the defined setting as criteria in selection of a virtual router master. The higher
the value, the greater the likelihood of this virtual router ID being selected as the master.

Virtual IP Addresses

Provide up to 8 IP addresses representing the Ethernet switches, routers or security
appliances defined as virtual router resources.

Advertisement Interval
Unit

Select either seconds, milliseconds or centiseconds as the unit used to define VRRP
advertisements. Once an option is selected, the spinner control becomes enabled for that
Advertisement Interval option. The default interval unit is seconds. If changing the VRRP
group version from 2 to 3, ensure the advertisement interval is in centiseconds. Use VRRP
group version 2 when the advertisement interval is either in seconds or milliseconds.

Advertisement Interval

Once an Advertisement Interval unit has been selected, use the spinner control to set the
interval the VRRP master sends out advertisements on each of its configured VLANs. The
default setting is 1 second.
