The invention provides a virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) message transmitting method, comprising: setting transmit-receive attributes for all interfaces on network equipment, where the attributes of the interfaces on the network equipment, connected with VRRP router, are set into 'allow to transmit-receive VRRP messages', and those of the others are set into 'prohibit receiving VRRP messages'; after the network equipment receives VRRP messages from its own interfaces, it processes the received VRRP messages according to the set interface attributes. In addition, the invention provides a VRRP message transmitting device. And the invention can improve VRRP protocol safety, assure normal user data transmission, and avoid user flow interrupt and other abnormal conditions from occurring. Further, the invention can reduce network resources occupied by VRRP messages and improve the whole network performance.
