bConfigure VRRP.
[LSW-B] vrrp ping-enable
[LSW-B] interface vlan 2

[LSW-B-Vlan-interface2] vrrp vrid 1 preempt-mode
The IP address of the default gateway of Host A can be configured to be
202.38.160.111.
Normally, Switch A functions as the gateway, but when Switch A is turned off or
malfunctions, Switch B will function as the gateway instead.
Configure Switch A to operate in preemptive mode, so that it can resume its gateway
function as the master switch after recovery.
VRRP Tracking Interface
Example
Network requirements
Even when Switch A is still functioning, Switch B can function as a gateway when the
interface on Switch A and connecting to Internet does not function properly. This can
be implemented by enabling the VLAN interface tracking function.
The VRRP backup group ID is set to 1, with additional configurations of authorization
key and timer.
