When operates normally, 2 vrrp interfaces in 1 router will become master due to the high priority. The failover between routers is working as it should. As you can see, there are 2 vrrp

Stacking has more benefits than VRRP (excepting licensing I suppose) but I still wouldn''t stack across such a large distance. Run the fibre between the two but have them as standalone switches instead.

Definition The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a standard-defined fault-tolerant protocol that groups several physical routing devices into a virtual one. If a physical routing device (master)

Yeah, MLAG with VRRP might do. I have already reduced the complexity of this topology, there just 2 links goes between core switches and routers, hence I only need to have 1 vrrp IP, I have
Apr 26, 2026
A VRRP router is configured to run the VRRP protocol in conjunction with one or more other routers attached to a LAN. In a VRRP configuration, one

I am migrating core router VIPs from HSRP to VRRPv3, the reasons for the migration are to allow for load sharing between core switches; another is interoperability with multiple vendors. To enable load
Feb 15, 2026
VRRP can solve the static configuration problem by enabling a group of routers (a VRRP group) to share a single virtual IP address. You can then configure the LAN clients with the virtual IP

Stacking at the core (regardless of vendor) is universally a bad idea. If they''re not wanting to buy all new expensive gear, you have two options, both with advantages and disadvantages. Split the stack into

In this post, I would like to show you how to configure VRRP on your Cisco router or switch. VRRP stands for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol. VRRP can be used with IPv4 and also
Apr 14, 2026
VRRP, like the ESRP, allows multiple switches to provide redundant routing services to users. VRRP is used to eliminate the single point of failure associated with manually configuring a default gateway

400 devices on the network is definitely big enough to justify having a nice VRRP core, with each of your access switches patching back to both physical cores. These frees up your 3750s
