Question 4: When does the master router take over again?
Answer: As soon as the master router and its DSL connection become available again, they are reactivated after an adjustable time delay. The same applies if the Internet connection of the master router becomes available again. You can set the reconnect delay by navigating to the menu Configuration-> IP router-> VRRP-> Reconnect delay.
Question 5: In case of failure, does the DHCP function continue to work if the master router is set up as a DHCP server?
Answer: If DHCP is to be provided by the LANCOM router, then the DHCP mode must be set to automatic on both the master and the backup router. This setting ensures that DHCP continues to work.
Question 6: Is it possible to operate a VRRP scenario with the LANCOM routers of the Common Criteria series?
Answer: It is not possible to implement a VRRP scenario with the Common Criteria (CC) series of LANCOM routers.
Question 7:Which manual options for tuning and testing does the VRRP function offer?Answer:To test the proper functioning of the VRRP, the following approaches are recommended:- Testing in case of a DSL connection failure:
Unplug the DSL cable from the master router. As soon as the line polling detects a loss of the Internet connection, the backup router is activated. Then test whether the Internet can be accessed from a client on the local network.
Plug-in the DSL cable to the master router again. The master router becomes active again after the reconnect delay time.
- Testing the failure of the master router:
Unplug the power cord from the master router. The backup router becomes active after the delay time. Then test whether the Internet can be accessed from a client on the local network.
Plug-in the power cord to the master router again. The master router becomes active again after the reconnect delay time.
