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. Provide a list of IP addresses that will be offered via VRRP.
  4. Set the Router Priority and Router ID for each node.
    Each node must have the same list of IP addresses and the same Router ID.

    Each node must have the same list of IP addresses and the same Router ID, but have 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.
