VRRP Track Information:

Track Object : 1 State : Negative Switchover

The output shows that when BFD detects that Switch A fails, it notifies VRRP through the Track module to

change the status of Switch B to master without waiting for a period three times the advertisement interval.

This ensures that a backup can quickly preempt as the master.
