Creating a Virtual Router to Back Up Another VRRP Router Addresses Using VRRPv3
Note
Do not turn on the VRRP backup router before the VRRP master is configured. This leads to a service outage because the VRRP backup router takes over the IP address while the master is still active with that IP address. To configure the master router, see “Creating a Virtual Router for an IPv6 Interface Using VRRPv3.”
