# VRRP configuration using Enterprise Device Manager

This chapter describes the procedures you can use to configure VRRP using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).

The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate the single point of failure that can occur when the single static default gateway router for an end station is lost.

## Prerequisites

- Install the Advanced License.

- Enable IP routing globally on the switch.

- Assign an IP address to the VLAN that you want to enable with VRRP.

  Routing is automatically enabled on the VLAN when you assign an IP address to it.

## Configuring VRRP

Use the following procedure to enable VRRP on a VLAN.

### Procedure steps

1. Enable VRRP globally on the switch.

2. Assign a virtual router IP address to a virtual router ID.

3. Configure the priority for this router as required and enable the virtual router.
