VRRP - Master/Backup master setup

  • 1.  VRRP - Master/Backup master setup

    Posted Mar 26, 2015 01:58 PM

    We currently have a 7210 as our master controller with no AP's terminating on it. We're putting in another 7210 in another building and configuring it to be a backup master. I'd like to setup VRRP between the both and I'm wondering if it is best practice to build a physical link between the two and only allow VRRP traffic over it or should I used my existing uplink (trunk) and just add the VLAN I'm creating for the VRRP instance?

    HI,

     

    Here we need to consider only distance and reachablity. If their iplink is L2 ( Not routed)  then you can use the uplink to bring up VRRP, otherwise create a separate link.

     

    Here important thing is VRRP heart beat, Mater redundancy rely on VRRP, as long as the VRRP is stable Master redundancy will be stable :)

     

    Please feel free if you need some more clarity on this.
