the same VRRP group, then only 32 unique VRRP identifiers are supported.

Configuring Basic VRRP Support
An interface can be a member of one or more VRRP groups. To configure basic VRRP
support, configure VRRP groups on interfaces by including the vrrp-group statement:
vrrp-group group-id {
priority number;
virtual-address [ addresses ];
}
You can include this statement at the following hierarchy level:
•
[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address]
Within a VRRP group, the master virtual router and the backup virtual router must be
configured on two different routers.
For each VRRP group, you must configure the following:
•
Group identifier—Assign a value from 0 through 255.
•
Address of one or more virtual routers that are members of the VRRP group—Normally,
you configure only one virtual IP address per group. However, you can configure up to
eight addresses. Do not include a prefix length in a virtual IP address. The following
considerations apply to configuring a virtual IP address:
•
The virtual router IP address must be the same for all routers in the VRRP group.
•
If you configure a virtual IP address to be the same as the physical interface’s address,
the interface becomes the master virtual router for the group. In this case, you must
configure the priority to be 255, and you must configure preemption by including the
preempt statement.
•
If the virtual IP address you choose is not the same as the physical interface’s address,
you must ensure that the virtual IP address does not appear anywhere else in the
