Configure VRRP (VIP)

Take the following steps to configure the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) IP addresses.

  1. Navigate to Administration > System > Network Setup.
  2. From the Interfaces list, select the data access interface that you configured from the System Startup Wizard for (Port 1).
    The Port Configuration Settings menu displays.
  3. Under VRRP, assign VRRP IP addresses to this port. Do the following:
    1. Select Add and then enter the VRRP Address and optional Comments that describe the address.
    2. Repeat the preceding substep if you want to add additional VRRP addresses. You can add up to ten VRRP addresses on a data port but only a single VRRP address on an ICC port.
      Note

      To delete an address, select the adjacent icon.
  4. Set the Priority and Router ID. If you've assigned multiple VRRP addresses to this port, these values apply to all VRRP addresses on this port.
  5. Repeat this process in each of the nodes of the cluster.
    Note

    Note

    Each cluster node must have the same VRRP addresses and the same Router ID, but a unique Priority setting. The Priority setting determines which node in the cluster is the Primary node. The node with the higher priority is considered the default Primary node.
