Or is there in-built rollover functions Hello, The OFR supports VRRP which is the standard compliant way to deploy redundant routers on a network. I have this deployed on my network right now, and it's working great. A VRRP group is specified under an interface, and a virtual IP is configured. These values must match on each device. In my network the first two IP addresses are configured as the physical IPs on the routers. The last IP in the network (before the broadcast address) is configured as the virtual IP on both routers, and is shared. A priority value can be set to influence which router will be considered the master, or primary router. It should be noted that VRRP does not load balance or share traffic between the two routers, it is an active/passive failover. 192.168.20.62 _____________|_____________ | | 192.168.20.33 192.168.20.34 router a router b Here's a sample config: [edit interfaces/ethernet/eth2] [EMAIL PROTECTED] # show description: "LAN interface" hw-id: 00:80:C8:C9:1D:F9 address 192.168.20.33 { prefix-length: 27 } vrrp { virtual-address: 192.168.20.62 priority: 101 } Thanks, Nick On 10/19/07, Daren Tay < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi guys, I am looking to implement a redundant router setup (based on vyatta). Is it possible to use applications like Heartbeat to do this? Or can I do it with VRRP? Thanks!
