Information About VRRP

VRRP allows for transparent failover at the first-hop IP router, by configuring a group of routers to share
a virtual IP address. VRRP selects a master router in that group to handle all packets for the virtual IP
address. The remaining routers are in standby and take over in the event that the master router fails.
