Chapter 5. VRRP and Network Technologies

VRRP runs over many LAN media types such as Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, and the ATM LAN-emulated versions of Ethernet and Token Ring. VRRP uses both a MAC address and a unique IP address and its behavior is therefore not totally independent of the media on which it runs. Most of this book describes VRRP in the context of the most popular LAN media, Ethernet. This chapter takes a closer look at how VRRP works over other LAN media such as FDDI, Token Ring, and ATM LAN emulation and considers implementation-specific issues related to these media. Before looking at non-Ethernet media, we begin with a brief overview of VRRP over Ethernet.
