# Specify to detect the reachability to the interface with IP address of 10.1.1.4 with
192.168.1.2 as the next hop, and set the operation number to 1.

# Specifies to enable the static route between the interfaces with an IP address of
192.168.1.2 on Switch A and with an IP address of 10.1.1.4 on Switch C only when the
result of the detecting group is reachable.

2.3 Implementations in VRRP
You can control priorities of VRRP backup groups according to auto detect results to
enable automatic switch between the primary switch and the secondary switch as
follows:
z Decrease the preference values of backup groups when the result of the detecting
group is unreachable.
z Resume the preference values of backup groups when the result of the detecting
group is reachable.
2.3.1 Configuring Auto Detect for VRRP
 Note:
You need to create a detecting group and perform VRRP configurations before the
following operations.
