Normally, Switch A functions as the gateway, but when VLAN 3 interface on
Switch A goes down, its priority will be reduced by 30, lower than that of Switch B
so that Switch B will preempt the master for gateway services instead.
When VLAN 3 interface recovers, switch A will resume its gateway function as the
master.
Multiple-VRRP Backup Network requirements
Group Configuration
A switch can function as backup switches of multiple backup groups.
Multiple-backup group configuration can implement load balancing. For example,
Switch A operates as the master switch of backup group 1 and a backup switch in
backup group 2. Similarly, Switch B operates as the master switch of backup group
