=== 2.8 VRRP ===
=== 2.7 Remote Monitoring ===
'''VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)''' is used to ensure high availability for IP routing by allowing multiple routers to work together to present the illusion of a single virtual router to the hosts on a network.
In this page the user can select which equipment needs to be monitored remotely.


In General Settings, click on ‘Enable VRRP’ and save.
Once the user selects the type of RMS click on save.

SN Field Name Sample Value Description
1 Interface Ex: ra0 Select the specific network interface on the router through which traffic enters or exits.
2 To Ex: 192.168.10.1 The destination IP address or network. In this case, 192.168.10.1 is the target IP address for routing traffic.
3 IPv4 Netmask Ex: 255.255.255.192 Defines the subnet mask, which helps determine the size of the network.
4 Table ID Ex: 1 Identifies which routing table this rule applies to.
5 From Ex: 192.168.100.1 Specifies the source IP address or network from which the traffic originates. In this case, the traffic is coming from 192.168.100.1.
6 Priority Ex:20 Determines the order in which routing rules are evaluated. Lower numbers have higher priority. If two rules conflict, the one with the lower priority number will be applied first.
7 Outgoing Interface 1.) fwmark

2.) iif (Incoming Interface)

3.) oif (Outgoing Interface)

4.) lookup

5.) blackhole

6.) prohibited

7.) unreachable

1.) This allows you to create rules that apply only to traffic that has been marked in a specific way by the firewall.

2.) This is often used to create rules based on the interface through which traffic is received.

3.) This allows you to control the flow of traffic based on the desired outgoing interface.

4.) It tells the router to check the specific routing table ID mentioned to determine how to route the traffic.

5.) This is used when you want to block traffic without notifying the sender.

6.) Like blackhole but sends an ICMP unreachable message to the sender, indicating that the route is prohibited.

7.) Causes the router to send an ICMP unreachable message to the source IP, notifying that the destination is unreachable.
