Connect VRRP gateway redundancy

Connect VRRP gateway redundancy

VRRP Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) 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 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 Reservation field, 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 box I confirm that the selected IP addresses are free (selecting IP addresses already in use will prevent them from working).
  7. Click Connect redundancy.
  8. Once connected, the selected IP addresses will be displayed in the Gateway Reservation field.
