VRRP with Route and Interface Tracking

In Figure 37-10, the VRRP priorities are configured so that Router A is the

VRRP master, and Router B is the VRRP backup. Router A forwards IP traffic

from clients to the external network through the VLAN 25 routing interface.

The clients are configured to use the virtual IP address 192.168.10.15 as the

default gateway.

Figure 37-10. VRRP with Tracking Network Diagram

Without VRRP interface or route tracking, if something happened to VLAN

25 or the route to the external network, as long as Router A remains up, it will

continue to be the VRRP master even though traffic from the clients does not

have a path to the external network. However, if the interface and/or route

tracking features are configured, Router A can decrease its priority value when

the problems occur so that Router B becomes the master.
