Overview
VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is a fault-tolerant protocol. VRRP protocol can help to constitute a router backup group in a LAN, the VRRP router is equivalent to a virtual router. A host in LAN only needs to know this virtual router’s IP address and doesn’t need to know the IP address of the specific router. When setting the host’s default gateway is the virtual router’s virtual IP address, the host can use the virtual gateway to communicate with the external network. VRRP function is an App that needs to install into the router in the System->App Center unit.
