Use this command to set the primary or secondary IP address of the device within a VRRPv3 group. To remove the secondary address, use the no form of this command.
If the primary or secondary option is not specified, the specified IP address is set as the primary. The Virtual IPv6 primary address should be a link-local address only. When a global IPv6 address is given as a primary address for the VRRP IP then the config fails with the following error message – "Error! Primary virtual IPv6 address should be a link- local address only." Also the removing of the primary virtual IP (IPv4 or IPv6) is not allowed. The primary virtual IP of a virtual router can only be modified. The secondary virtual IP can be removed using the no form of the this command. Also, VRRPv3 for IPv6 requires that a primary virtual link-local IPv6 address is configured to allow the group to operate. After the primary link-local IPv6 address is established on the group, you can add the secondary global addresses.
