Configuring an Oracle^® Solaris 11.4 System as a Router or a Load Balancer

Planning a VRRP Configuration

Planning a Layer 2 or Layer 3 VRRP configuration involves the following steps:

1. Determining whether to configure an L2 VRRP or an L3 VRRP router.

2. (For L2 VRRP router only) Creating a VRRP VNIC.

   You can automatically create a VRRP VNIC by using the –f option of the vrrpadm command while you create the L2 VRRP router.

3. Creating a VRRP router.

4. Configuring the virtual IP address for the VRRP router.
