Creating a virual router initiates Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) operation. We recommend that you plan your virtual router setup before configuration, to ensure consistent configuration across all routers forming the virtual router.
1. Click on the home page.
2. Click the Router Redundancy link in the Client Services section.
3. Locate the appropriate interface for the virtual router.
4. Enter the virtual IP address for the virtual router in the Virtual Router edit box.
The virtual router IP address must be in the same IP subnet as the interface's real IP address. It must not match the real IP address of any host, or the virtual IP address of another VRRP cluster on the LAN.

6. Enter a number for the cluster in the Cluster edit box.
The number must be in the range 0-255. The cluster number must be identical on all routers forming the virtual router.
7. (Optional) Enter a priority number in the Priority edit box.
The number must be in the range 1-255. This number indicates the preference of this router relative to the other routers forming the virtual router. The higher the number, the higher the priority.
8. (Optional) Enter a number in the Hello interval edit box.
The number must be in the range 1-255. The value in this field must be the same for all routers forming the virtual router.
