Multiple VRRP groups configuration example

This section provides an example of configuring multiple VRRP groups on switches.
Network requirements
Switch A and Switch B form two VRRP groups. VRRP group 1 uses the virtual IPv6 addresses 1::10/64
and FE80::10 to provide gateway service for hosts in VLAN 2, and VRRP group 2 uses the virtual IPv6
addresses 2::10/64 and FE90::10 to provide gateway service for hosts in VLAN 3, as shown in
30.
Hosts in VLAN 2 learn 1::10/64 as their default gateway, and hosts in VLAN 3 learn 2::10/64 as their
default gateway from RA messages sent by the switches.
