Information
Both IPv4 and IPv6 virtual address can be configured simultaneously, but only one of each. Each time 
this command is issued it will replace the previously configured address of the same family, IPv4 or 
IPv6. The no virtual-ip command now takes an address/prefix-length argument, so that the desired 
address only is removed. If no virtual-ip is entered without any specified address, then both IPv4 and 
IPv6 virtual addresses are removed.
Example
