+rfc3768-compatibility
+---------------------
+
+RFC 3768 defines a virtual MAC address to each VRRP virtual router. This 
+virtual router MAC address will be used as the source in all periodic 
+VRRP messages sent by the active node. When the rfc3768-compatibilty option 
+is set, a new VRRP interface is created, to which the MAC address and the 
+virtual IP address is automatically assigned.
