In this scenario, SnapGear unit #1 is initially the master and therefore the default gateway
for the local network and SnapGear unit #2 is the slave on standby. This may be
because SnapGear unit #1 booted up before SnapGear unit #2, or SnapGear unit #2 may
have previously failed, but has now come back online.
Should SnapGear unit #1 lose LAN connectivity (e.g. someone accidentally powers it
down), SnapGear unit #2 assumes the floating IP address and becomes the default
gateway for the local network.
