• Virtual router ID
The virtual router ID (VRID) identifies the virtual router. VRRP uses the
virtual router ID to calculate the virtual router’s virtual MAC address. If the
virtual router is in the primary virtual router state, it responds to all ARP
requests using the IP address of the virtual router with its virtual MAC
address, not its physical MAC address. You cannot change the virtual router
ID after you configure a virtual router.
• Virtual router IP address
The virtual router IP address identifies the IP address that the virtual router
backs up.
To configure a virtual router, complete the following tasks:
Caution: If you are configuring virtual routers on the IP interface used as the
Site Manager management console, you should not add or modify a backup
virtual router before you create a master virtual router. Otherwise, you can lose
connectivity to the router when dynamically configuring virtual routers. Use
local or remote mode when configuring a virtual router.
