Configuration Guide - Reliability
The mVRRP backup group can be bound to several backup group members. The mVRRP backup
group cannot be bound to other management backup groups.
According to different applications, the binding relationship of the mVRRP backup group is as

7.8.2 Configuring mVRRP Backup Group

Each VRRP backup group needs to maintain its own state machine by sending VRRP packets.
Configuring an mVRRP backup group can reduce bandwidth consumption of VRRP packets.
Context
Do as follows on each switch of an mVRRP backup group:
Perform the following step as required to configure VRRP for IPv4 or VRRP for IPv6.

The VRRP backup group is bound to the mVRRP backup group: UPEs are dual-homed to
NPEs. VRRP is run between NPEs. The master NPE and backup NPE are determined by
the configured priority of VRRP. Multiple VRRP backup groups run between NPEs with
different services.
If each VRRP backup group needs to maintain its own state machine, a huge number of
VRRP packets exist among NPEs. To simplify the process and decrease occupancy of
bandwidth, you can set one VRRP backup group as the mVRRP backup group. Other
backup group members are bound to the mVRRP backup group. The master and slave
switches are determined directly by the binding relationship.
The service interfaces are bound to the mVRRP backup group. If the UPEs are dual-homed
to NPEs through two physical links. You can bind the member interfaces to the mVRRP
backup group to determine the master member interfaces and the slave interfaces.
