This configuration procedure only provides the auto-detect related configuration.
To ensure the normal communication between Host A and Host C, corresponding
static routes must already exist on Switch B and Switch D.

Auto Detect
Implementation in
VRRP
You can use the auto detect function on the master switch of a VRRP group to
detect the routes from the master switch to other networks, and use the detection
results (reachable/unreachable) to control the priority of the master switch, so as
to realize the automatic master-backup switchover:
