Usage Information
The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when a virtual IP
address is configured. When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops
sending VRRP packets.
A system message appears after you enter or delete the virtual-address
command.
To guarantee that a VRRP group becomes MASTER, configure the VRRP group’s
virtual address with the same IP address as the interface’s primary IP address and
change the priority of the VRRP group to 255.
You can ping the virtual addresses configured in all VRRP groups.
