Ping Between Hosts Through Virtual IP When Master Fails

If you shut down the VLAN interface on ES1-24p-1 when the ping command is running, then the ES1-24p-2 switch which is now the backup becomes the master and the ping should still continue to be uninterrupted.

1. Shut down the VLAN interface.

   ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# configure terminal 
   ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 100
   ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# shutdown 
   ES1-24p-1 SEFOS(config-if)# end
   ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# 
   

2. Verify the VRRP configuration.

   ES1-24p-1 SEFOS# show vrrp
    
   P indicates configured to preempt
    
   Interface vrID Prio P State  Master Address            VRouter Address
