Connect VRRP gateway redundancy

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol is a network protocol designed to increase the availability of routers that act as the default gateway. This is accomplished by combining a group of routers into a single virtual router and assigning them a common IP address to be used as the default gateway for computers on the network. Two access routers are installed in each pool to support the protocol.

VRRP can be configured within the same pool. Customization is free of charge.

  1. In control panel go to Servers and hardwareServers.
  2. Open the server page → tab Ports.
  3. Open the subnet page.
  4. In the field Gateway redundancy click Connect.
  5. Select two free IP addresses that are not in use on your hosts.
  6. Confirm that the selected IP addresses are free. Check the checkbox I confirm that the selected IP addresses are free (selecting IP addresses already in use will disrupt their functionality).
  7. Click Connect redundancy.
  8. After connection in the field Gateway redundancy The selected IP addresses will be displayed.
