User Guidelines
The Virtual IPv6 Primary address should be a link-local address only. When a
global IPv6 address is given as a primary address for the VRRP IP then the
config fails with the following error message – “Error! Primary virtual
IPv6 address should be a link-local address only.
" Removing
the Primary virtual IP (IPv4 or IPv6) is not allowed. The Primary virtual IP of
a Virtual Router can only be modified. The secondary virtual IP can be
removed using the no form of the command.
VRRPv3 for IPv6 requires that a primary virtual link-local IPv6 address is

addresses.
Use the no shutdown command to update the virtual router state after
