VRRP statistics  
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the GbE2c provides redundancy between routers in a LAN. 
This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-
capable routing device. 
One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of 
the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority 
and take control of the virtual router IP address. 
When virtual routers are configured, you can display the following protocol statistics for VRRP: 
•  Advertisements received (vrrpInAdvers) 
•  Advertisements transmitted (vrrpOutAdvers) 
•  Advertisements received, but ignored (vrrpBadAdvers) 
 
 
NOTE:  VRRP commands are available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.
