What you'll learn

  • Understand what VRRP is
  • Configuring VRRP Basics
  • Configuring VRRP on VLANS
  • Configuring load balancing on VRRP
  • Having VRRP failover when the internet connection stops

Course content

4 sections • 14 lectures • 1h 57m total length

  • What is VRRP?7:45

    Explore how VRRP on MikroTik creates a virtual router for gateway redundancy and seamless failover, using open standards and enabling load balancing.

  • VRRP LAB Preparation11:34

    Prepare the MikroTik lab for virtual router redundancy by configuring IP addresses, ensuring internet connectivity, and enabling masquerade and firewall for gateway redundancy before creating the virtual router.

  • Configuring VRRP on MikroTik Routers14:16

    Configure VRRP on MikroTik routers by creating a virtual router, assigning IP addresses from the same range, and designating master and backup for failover.

  • VRRP using an IP of the physical Gateway8:11

    Explore how VRRP on MikroTik enables load balancing and failover by using the virtual router IP equal to a physical gateway, demonstrating master selection, IP reconfiguration, and failover behavior.

  • VRRP Priority and Preemption8:51

    Configure VRRP priority and preemption to designate the master router and control traffic between master and backup. The lecture demonstrates adjusting priorities and testing failover to ensure seamless gateway operation.

Requirements

  • Have basic knowledge on MikroTik RouterOS
  • Have basic Networking knowledge

Description

VRRP is a very important protocol to deploy it on our networks. It makes failover on the Gateways, so in case one Router goes down the 2nd router will go operational which makes the internet service working always for our LAN users.

Fortunately, MikroTik RouterOS has VRRP protocol available for us. However, configuring VRRP on MikroTik RouterOS can be a challenge, so I have decided to do this course to cover everything related to VRRP on MikroTik RouterOS.

This course will contains a lot of LABS, so I advise you to have some MikroTik routers under your hands or preferably to use GNS3 with CHR images.

In this course, I will cover the follow VRRP topics:

  • Understand what VRRP is

  • Configuring VRRP Basics

  • Configuring VRRP on VLANS

  • Configuring load balancing on VRRP

  • Having VRRP failover when the internet connection stops

If you want to master VRRP protocol on MikroTik RouterOS, I advise you to enroll in this course and I am sure that by end of the course you will have a complete understanding of how the configure VRRP on a proper way on MikroTik RouterOS.

Who this course is for:

  • MikroTik enginners interested in deploying VRRP in the network
