CASE 1 – Testing functionality

First, verify which switch is working as Master from the VRRP menu.

Once we know which of our switches is the primary, we will start a ping stream from our host to a

public IP address. As an example, "ping 4.2.2.2 –t"

While the pings are responding, unplug the power of whichever switch is serving as the current

VRRP master. You will notice a couple of packets will be lost and the reponses will shortly

resume – this will indicate that the backup switch just assumed the role of master. You will be

able to verify this by checking the VRRP settings on the switch.
