VRRP Commands
A new master is elected when one of the following things happen:
• VRRP is disabled on the master router.
• Communication is lost between master and backup router(s). The master router sends periodic
advertisements to the backup routers to indicate that it is alive.
VRRP also supports the following tracking options:
• VRRP VLAN tracking
• VRRP route table tracking
• VRRP ping tracking
If a tracking option is enabled, and the object being tracked becomes unreachable, the master device will
fail over. These tracking features are documented in the chapter on ESRP.
