Usage Guideline
Referring to the figure below, Router-1 is the VRRP master router while Router-2
is the backup router for virtual IP 20.1.1.5. For the master router, the next hop
router which provides access to the Interface is Router-X and the interface IP
address on Router-X that connects to Router-1 is 60.5.1.1. IP address 60.5.1.1 is
the critical IP address for the master router.
Configure the critical IP address on the master router and the master router will
monitor the ARP cache of the critical IP address. Once the ARP cache of critical
IP is gone from the ARP table, the master router will give up its master status.
