Interfaces

• Create/Delete Virtual Router
• Change timers for VRRP packet, for e.g: Advertisement Timer

Configuration

• VRRP configuration is based of https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5798#section-5.2
• Unless specified each instance of Virtual Router will use the default values specified in the RFC
