Hi, I have one mk in production and need to spare another one to have a backup, can I use VRRP to do that ?.

ok, I 've got a two mikrotiks, one is in production, the other is empty(system reset), how should I set up the replication ? After setting up replication, I bring up VRRP, Should I connect them between the fast eth ?

Thanks a lot.

vrrp does not replicate anything. It simply handles a virtual IP that can be used as a default gateway for clients, for redundancy. Both routers must be configured individually.
