253B Verifying the configuration
After the configuration, Host A can ping Host B. You can view the VRRP group information on
GigabitEthernet 0/1 on Firewall A and Firewall B. In VRRP group 1, Firewall A is the master and Firewall
B is the backup. Firewall A is responsible for forwarding packets sent from Host A to Host B.
If the interface that connects Firewall A to the Internet fails, Host A can still ping Host B. In this case, the
VRRP group information on the two firewalls shows that Firewall A becomes a backup with the priority 80
and Firewall B becomes the master. Firewall B forwards the packets from Host A to Host B.
