Planning Your Network
You can use VRRP to target stub networks with hosts having default gateway
addresses to provide redundancy for IP addresses. To avoid a single point of
failure, you should configure the default gateway IP address as the virtual router
IP address on multiple IP interfaces on different physical routers. Refer to the
following sample configurations when determining how to configure VRRP in
your network.
Sample Configurations
The configuration in Figure 1-1 shows a simple VRRP scenario in which both
router A and router B are running VRRP. The end hosts install a default route to
the IP address of router A, which serves as the master virtual router for virtual
router 1. If router A fails, then router B becomes the master virtual router for
virtual router 1.
