To delete one or more virtual IP addresses, use the no virtual-address ip-address1 [... ip-
address12] command.
Parameters
ip-address1 Enter an IP address of the virtual router in dotted decimal format. The IP address must be
on the same subnet as the interface’s primary IP address.

Usage Information
The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when you congure a virtual IP address. 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, congure the VRRP group’s virtual IP address with the same
address as the interface’s primary IP address and change the priority of the VRRP group to 255.
You can ping the virtual IP addresses congured in all VRRP groups.
