periodic time requests to servers, obtaining server time stamps, and using them

Passive device In the VRRP group, the secondary device starts out as the passive device. As the

passive device, the role of the secondary device is to listen for VRRP messages

from the primary device. In the event that the primary device is unable to send

out those VRRP messages, the secondary device takes over as the active device,

receiving all network traffic. As soon as the primary device is able to fulfill client

traffic, the secondary device stands down and the primary device again becomes

the active device.

Primary device A designated device that, when up and running, is the active device.

RSA key A public-key encryption technology using an algorithm that is the industry standard

for encryption.

Secondary device A designated device that is passive. If the primary device goes down, then the

secondary becomes the active device until the primary is back up.

Stands for an IP address that is only accessible on the active machine. This is

also referred to as a floating IP.

Is calculated and assigned to the network interfaces using the following algorithm

according to RFC 2338.7.3: VMAC = 00:00:5E:00:01:

Virtual Router

Network interfaces across machines that have identical VRIDs constitute a virtual

group. This is also known as Ethernet Group ID. This group shares a common

set of VIPs.
