Configuring Monitored-Circuit VRRP using the Full Method
If you use the full method to configure monitored-circuit VRRP, you must manually select the
list of interfaces that each interface will monitor. You can configure monitored-circuit VRRP
using only one of the methods (simplified or full) on a given platform.
If your platform has monitored-circuit VRRP configurations configured using the full method
and you wish to use the simplified method, you must delete the VRIDs and re-create them using
the simplified method.
In addition to the configuration parameters used with the simplified configuration method (see
Table 9 on page 191), Table 10 shows the additional parameters you can set when using the full
configuration method.
