Virtual IP Address Support for VRRP

Gaia supports the advertising of the virtual IP address of the VRRP Virtual Router. You can configure RIP to advertise the virtual IP address rather than the actual IP address of the interface. If you enable this option, RIP runs only on the master of the Virtual Router; on a failover, RIP stops running on the old master and then starts running on the new master. A traffic break might occur during the time it takes both the VRRP and RIP protocols to learn the routes again. The larger the network, the more time it would take RIP to synchronize its database and install routes again.

Note -

Gaia also provides support for BGP, OSPF, and PIM, both Sparse-Mode and Dense-Mode, to advertise the virtual IP address of the VRRP Virtual Router.

You must use Monitored Circuit mode when configuring virtual IP support for any dynamic routing protocol, including RIP.
