In this webinar, we discuss a mikrotik feature that is called VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol ) which could provide dedundancy on the your network. We started the webinar by introducing the VRRP protocol, then discuss an example implementation on Mikrotik Router. some mistakes on VRRP configuration were also covered here. The recording is available on youtube (GLC Networks Channel): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI611_IIkQC0rsLWIFIx_yg

What is VRRP
● Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
● Provides for automatic assignment of available Internet Protocol (IP) routers
to participating hosts
● Increases the availability and reliability of routing paths via automatic default
gateway selections on an IP subnetwork
● Consist of master and slave node
● Provides information on the state of a router, not the prefixes
● Available on single subnet with direct connection between nodes
● Support IPv4 and IPv6
● Described in IETF RFC 5798

VRRP topology
9
● Master router is forwarding
traffic
● There is an additional virtual IP
on master
● The virtual IP is acting as
gateway
● Virtual IP should use /32
● When master fail, slave will
become Master router
● Virtual IP will move to master
router

VRRP configuration
ROUTER 1
/interface vrrp add name=vrrp-wan
interface=ether1 vrid=10 priority=150
/ip address add address=17.4.5.2/32
interface=vrrp-wan
/interface vrrp add name=vrrp-lan
interface=ether2 vrid=20 priority=150
/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/32
interface=vrrp-lan
/ip address add address=17.4.5.3/29
interface=ether1
/ip address add address=192.168.1.2/24
interface=ether2
ROUTER 2
/interface vrrp add name=vrrp-wan
interface=ether1 vrid=10 priority=100
/ip address add address=17.4.5.2/32
interface=vrrp-wan
/interface vrrp add name=vrrp-lan
interface=ether2 vrid=20 priority=100
/ip address add address=192.168.1.1/32
interface=vrrp-lan

interface=ether1
/ip address add address=192.168.1.3/24

Other implementation
● VRRP on public interface will waste IP
addresses :-(
● Usually is applied on LAN side

Other parameters
● Preemption mode: when master goes
back live, it will be back to master
● Authentication: provide authentication
on vrrp nodes
