HiVRRP Domains

A HiVRRP instance is a router instance configured as HiVRRP with functions that HiVRRP contains. In a HiVRRP domain you combine multiple HiVRRP instances of a router into one administrative unit. You nominate one HiVRRP instance as the supervisor of the HiVRRP domain. This supervisor regulates the behavior of all HiVRRP instances in its domain.
The router supports up to 8 domains.

VRID of the supervisor

Supervisor Status

status of the supervisor

Redundancy Check per Member

Activates the function for the selected domain.

HiVRRP domain instances at different ports

If domain instances (members) are divided among different physical ports, the router monitors by default only the supervisor's connection for line interruptions (“Redundancy Check per Member” deactivated).
You have the option of activating the monitoring of the other connections for line interruptions within the domain. Monitoring means that the router sends HiVRRP messages when it detects a line interruption. If there is a low probability of a line interruption, you select a long HiVRRP message interval (refer VRRP instance settings) in order to minimize the network load.
