Summary
Two Peplink routers can be configured in High Availibility mode using VRRP.
It is also possible to configure one Peplink router to achieve VRRP with onother router (Cisco, ...) under certain conditions.
One is configured as the Master one as the second one is configured as Slave.
Configuration is only possible locally on router (not from Incontrol).
Easiest way to access router's local configuration is through Incontrol Central Management Web Interface.
If you do not have access to that Interface contact our support on support@venntelcom.com or +32 2 318 48 25

Note: Upon changing this option to disabled while the slave is up, the slave will immediately take over the master role.
Default: Enabled

If VRRP is establiched between two Peplink devices it is also possible to specify the Master's Serial number:
If this option is enabled and the Master Serial Number entered matches with the actual master unit's, the master unit will automatically transfer the configuration to this unit.
