Configuring VRRP Groups

You can create a VRRP group, assign the virtual IP address, and enable the group.
You can configure one virtual IPv4 address for a VRRP group. By default, the master VRRP router drops
the packets addressed directly to the virtual IP address because the VRRP master is only intended as a
next-hop router to forward packets. Some applications require that Cisco NX-OS accept packets
addressed to the virtual router IP. Use the secondary option to the virtual IP address to accept these
packets when the local router is the VRRP master.
