MikroTik VRRP Configuration with DHCP Server
MikroTik VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) ensures high available internet network. If any organization requires uninterrupted internet connection, MikroTik VRRP implementation will be a vital solution for them. MikroTik VRRP creates a virtual router accumulating two or more physical routers and ensures uninterrupted internet connection keeping activate one physical router always.
