CASE 1 - Testing functionality First, verify which switch is working as Master from the VRRP menu. Once we know which of our switches is the primary, we will start a ping stream from our host to a public IP address. As an example, "ping 4.2.2.2 -t" While the pings are responding, unplug the power of whichever switch is serving as the current VRRP master. You will notice a couple of packets will be lost and the reponses will shortly resume - this will indicate that the backup switch just assumed the role of master. You will be able to verify this by checking the VRRP settings on the switch.
