■ The master switch remains as master when the detected group is reachable.
■ The priority of the master switch decreases and thus becomes a backup when
the detected group is unreachable.

Requirements
■ Make sure there is a route between Switch A and Switch C, Switch C and
Switch E, Switch B and Switch D, and Switch D and Switch E.
■ Create VRRP group 1 containing Switch A and Switch B, and set the virtual IP
address of the group to 10.1.1.10/24.
■ Normally, data of Host A is forwarded to Host B through Switch A.
■ If the link between Switch C and Switch E fails, Switch B becomes the master
of VRRP group 1. Data of Host A is forwarded to Host B through Switch B.
