VRRP

Dear,

I would like to setup an active-active or active-passive cluster of 2 routerboard routers in case one of the routers fails another takes over.
I've read a lot of it that I need to configure VRRP but got a question about it:

- One you've configures VRRP is the configuration continiously replicated between the active and passive node ?

I've got a complex firewall setup and also a lot of VLANs, found some articles that describes not to use VRRP when using a lot of VLANs.

with regards,

Configuration is not replicated automatically between routers. It must be set manually on each of them.

Hi,

Which configuration can I transfer? Is it everything (interface configs, vlans, firewall rules,..) ?
As from my understanding with vrrp you create an active/active setup right ?

Is vrrp the right choice to create this or is there something else ? I got a lot of fw rules and vlans.
