Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - History

History

VRRP is based on Cisco's proprietary Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) concepts. The protocols, while similar in concept, are not compatible. Therefore, on newer installations VRRP is usually implemented, because it is the standard and is supported by many router and switch products.

  • (Cisco Example) VLAN Tagging
track 1 interface Serial0/0/0.1 ip routing ! Points at the interface that needs to be Prioritized interface fastethernet0/0.1 ! VLANs have to be on a Sub-Interface, It is best practice to match the Sub-Interface # and the VLAN # encapsulation dot1q 1 ! Enables IEEE 802.1Q VLAN frame tagging, followed by the VLAN # that this sub-interface will route ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 ! Make sure the IP is on the same subnet as the virtual Gateway1 vrrp 1 priority 110 ! The Priority of the Gateway1 vrrp 1 ip ! The Virtual Gateway for the VLAN 1 vrrp 1 preempt delay minimum 20 ! If the other router fails it will wait 20 sec before becoming the master vrrp 1 track 1 decrement 15 ! If the S0/0/0.1 Link fails, This command drops the priority by 15 ! interface fastethernet0/0.5 ! VLANs have to be on a Sub-Interface, It is best practice to match the Sub-Interface # and the VLAN # encapsulation dot1q 5 ! Enables IEEE 802.1Q VLAN frame tagging, followed by the VLAN # that this sub-interface will route ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0 ! Make sure the IP is on the same subnet as the virtual Gateway2 vrrp 5 priority 110 ! The Priority of the Gateway2 vrrp 5 ip ! The Virtual Gateway for the VLAN 5 vrrp 5 preempt delay minimum 20 ! If the other router fails it will wait 20 sec before becoming the master vrrp 5 track 1 decrement 15 ! If the Fa0/0.5 Link fails, This command drops the priority by 15 ! router bgp network mask 255.255.255.0 ! Broadcasts Gateway1 out the WAN through BGP network mask 255.255.255.0 ! Broadcasts Gateway2 out the WAN through BGP

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
