Enable VRRP gateway redundancy

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is a network protocol designed to increase the availability of routers acting as default gateways. This is achieved by grouping multiple routers into a single virtual router and assigning them a shared IP address, which is then used as the default gateway for computers on the network. In each pool, two access routers are installed to support the protocol.

VRRP can be configured within a single pool. Setup is free of charge.

  1. In the control panel, in the top menu, click Products and select Dedicated Servers.
  2. In the Servers section, open the server page → Ports tab.
  3. Open the subnet page.
  4. In the Gateway redundancy field, click Connect.
  5. Select two available IP addresses that are not used by your hosts.
  6. Confirm that the selected IP addresses are free. Select the checkbox I confirm that the selected IP addresses are free (if already used IP addresses are selected, their operability will be disrupted).
  7. Click Connect redundancy.
  8. After connecting, the Gateway redundancy field will display the selected IP addresses.
