VRRP

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

• Open standard

• A master and backup router are elected.

• Multicast IPv4 address: 224.0.0.18

• Virtual MAC address: 0000.5e00.01XX (XX = VRRP group number)

• In a situation with multiple subnets/VLANs, you can configure a different master router in each subnet/VLAN to load balance.
