Usage
AcriticalIPaddressdefinesaninterface—inadditiontotheinterfacebetweenhostsandafirst‐
hoprouter—thatwillpreventthemasterrouterfromfunctioningproperlyiftheinterfacewereto
fail.Forexample,anIPaddressofaninterfaceconnectingamasterroutertoarouter
configured
forinternetaccesswouldbeconsideredacriticalIPaddressforVRRProuting.Uptofourcritical
IPaddressescanbeconfiguredonthedevice.
The“no”formofthiscommandclearsthecriticalIPaddress.
