VRRP:
VRRP (Virtual Routing Redundancy Protocol) is a cluster solution where two
3
or more Gaia-based Security Gateways work together as one Security
Palo Alto Comma…
Gateway. You can configure a VRRP cluster for high availability and/or load
sharing.
The Check Point VRRP implementation includes functionality called

Palo Alto Networ… 11 Monitored Circuit VRRP. Monitored-Circuit VRRP prevents connection issues
caused by asymmetric routes created when only one interface on master
How to check if a … 1 router fails (as opposed to the master itself). Gaia releases the priority over
all interfaces on a virtual router to let failover occur.

Understanding VRRP
Cisco ASA Firew… 10 Each VRRP cluster, known as a Virtual Router, has a unique identifier, known
as the VRID (Virtual Router Identifier). A Virtual Router can have one or
Big IP F5 Load B… 8 more virtual IP addresses (VIP) to which other network nodes connect as a
final destination or the next hop in a route.
By assigning a virtual IP address (VIP), you can define alternate paths for
nodes configured with static default routes. Only the master is assigned a
VIP. The backup is assigned a VIP upon failover when it becomes the master.
7 of 10 23-01-2022, 11:51
Nodes can have alternate paths with static default routes in the event of a
Cyber Security Service failure. Static default routes minimize configuration and processing
overhead on host computers.
Monitored-circuit VRRP prevents connection issues caused by asymmetric
Classic Flipcard Magazine Mosaic Sidebar
routes when onlySnapshot Timeslide
one interface on a master fails (not the master itself).
This problem occurs in environments where a gateway is a member of two
or more Virtual Routers, typically one with internal interfaces and the other
with external interfaces
Checkpoint VPN 4 VRRP Types
You can configure VRRP using one of these types:

IPSec VPN How … 3
• VRRP (Simplified Monitored Circuit VRRP)

The simplified Monitored Circuit VRRP configuration contains all of the
basic parameters and is applicable for most environments. When using the
Check point High … 6 simple method, you configure each Virtual Router as one unit. This method
uses Monitored Circuit VRRP only.
How HTTPS/SSL… 7 • Advanced VRRP
Use this procedure if you are working with:
• A system on which VRRP has already been configured using this method
• An environment where it is necessary to monitor each interface
individually
Checkpoint Ques… 12 • The Preempt VMAC mode.
For more information, see Monitored-Circuit VRRP ("Understanding
Sourcefire NGIP… 6 Monitored-Circuit VRRP" on page 128).
You cannot use the Simple and Advanced types together on the same

Security Gateway.
Palo Alto Comma…
How Failover Works

Each Virtual Router (VRRP Group) is identified by a unique Virtual Router ID

Palo Alto Networ… 11 (VRID). A Virtual Router contains one Master Security Gateway and at least
one Backup Security Gateway. The master sends periodic VRRP
How to check if a … 1 advertisements (known as hello messages) to the backups
VRRP advertisements also broadcast the operational status of the master to

the backups. Gaia uses dynamic routing protocols to advertise the VIP of
the Virtual Router (virtual IP address or backup address). You must use
Cisco ASA Firew… 10 monitored-circuit VRRP to configure VIP support for Dynamic Routing
protocols.
