Information
To guarantee that a VRRP group becomes MASTER, configure the VRRP group’s virtual address with
same IP address as the interface’s primary IP address and change the priority of the VRRP group to
255.
If you set the priority to 255 and the virtual-address is not equal to the interface’s primary IP address,
an error message appears.
