VRRP Configuration Examples

This section contains several useful VRRP configuration examples

Basic Setup

Basic VRRP example

This is the basic VRRP configuration example.
According to this configuration, as long as the master, R1, is functional, all traffic destined to the external network gets directed to R1. But as soon as R1 fails, R2 takes over as the master and starts handling packets forwarded to the interface associated with IP(R1). In this setup Router R2 is completely idle during Backup period.

Configuration

R1 configuration: 

/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/24 interface=ether1
/interface vrrp add interface=ether1 vrid=49 priority=255
/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/32 interface=vrrp1

R2 configuration: 

/ip address add address=192.168.1.2/24 interface=ether1
/interface vrrp add interface=ether1 vrid=49
/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/32 interface=vrrp1
