<listitem><para>System Offering. If the service provider for any of the services selected in Supported Services is a virtual router, the System Offering field appears. Choose the system service offering that you want virtual routers to use in this network. For example, if you selected Load Balancer in Supported Services and selected a virtual router to provide load balancing, the System Offering field appears so you can choose between the &PRODUCT; default system service offering and any custom system service offerings that have been defined by the &PRODUCT; root administrator. For more information, see System Service Offerings.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Redundant router capability. (v3.0.3 and greater) Available only when Virtual Router is selected as the Source NAT provider. Select this option if you want to use two virtual routers in the network for uninterrupted connection: one operating as the master virtual router and the other as the backup. The master virtual router receives requests from and sends responses to the users VM. The backup virtual router is activated only when the master is down. After the failover, the backup becomes the master virtual router. &PRODUCT; deploys the routers on different hosts to ensure reliability if one host is down.</para></listitem>
