59.2.39.7 Add a Backup router switch

A virtual router makes it possible to automatically switch a backup router in parallel to the main routing device (e.g. master control), providing the user with a second output signal if the primary signal fails. The Virtual router's configuration allows a master control to be configured as the main switching device and a normal router as a backup device, as shown in the diagram below.
For example, suppose a television station uses one master control (e.g. MC1) whose inputs are connected to two video routers (e.g. C1 and C2) for redundancy. In that case, a virtual router allows to switch signals from the main router to the master controls; if one master controller fails, the other master control could take over.
