Enable VRRP gateway redundancy

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is a network protocol designed to increase the availability of routers acting as default gateways. It achieves this by grouping multiple routers into one virtual router and assigning them a common IP address, which is then used as the default gateway for computers in the network. Each pool includes two access routers to support the protocol.

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

  1. In the Control panel, on 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 Enable.
  5. Select two available IP addresses that are not used by your hosts.
  6. Confirm that the selected IP addresses are available. Select the I confirm that the selected IP addresses are available (if already used IP addresses are selected, their performance will be disrupted) checkbox.
  7. Click Enable redundancy.
  8. After it is enabled, the selected IP addresses will be displayed in the Gateway redundancy field.
