The ERS1424T does NOT have the VRRP feature. I believe the general reason is there’s no really good reason to have such a high-end feature in such a low-end switch.

If you’re building a resilient network that is capable of surviving a switch/router failure you would probably start with an ERS1600 series at a minimum.

Cheers!

It does not have the VRRP feature implemented!!

I’ve just deleted a comment that contained just such a link because it’s not public. Access to the link requires the user to login to the Nortel support portal.

If you would like me to update my original post with a new version of the Nortel Switch matrix then please drop me an email message.

Thanks!
