What is VRRP?
VRRP, or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol, is an open standard protocol that provides the same gateway redundancy function as HSRP but works across equipment from any vendor. A group of routers share a virtual IP address, with one elected as the master and the others as backups ready to take over if the master becomes unavailable. Because it is vendor-neutral, VRRP is the preferred choice in multi-vendor network environments.
