A system message appears after you enter or delete the virtual-address command.
To guarantee that a VRRP group becomes MASTER, configure the VRRP groups virtual address with the
same IP address as the interfaces primary IP address and change the priority of the VRRP group to 255.
You can ping the virtual addresses configured in all VRRP groups.
