Use Interface to select the Unit/Slot/Port for the new Virtual Router from the pull-down menu. 3. Use Pre-empt Mode to select enable or disable.

The default is enable. 4. Use Priority to enter the priority value to be used by the VRRP router in the election for the master virtual router. If the Virtual IP Address is the same as the interface IP Address, the priority gets set to 255 no matter what the user enters. If the user enters a priority of 255 when the Virtual and interface IP Addresses are not the same, the priority gets set to the default value of 100. 5. Use Advertisement Interval to enter the time, in seconds, between the transmission of advertisement packets by this virtual router. Enter a number between 1 and 255. The default value is 1 second. 6.

Authentication Data: If you selected simple authentication, enter the password. 9. Use Status to select active or inactive to start or stop the operation of the Virtual Router.
