[Xorp-hackers] VRRP error

[Li Zhao]

I figured it out. Actually it is very simple. After I checked config.log I 
found misssing header file pcap.h, so I installed libpcap-devel on my development
machine and rebuilt the xorp. Vrrp is running much better than before. If
I run vrrp only on one router, the default ip address and virtual MAC are
propagated to the network. But when I tried to set "ip <IPv4>", it seems
not taken. I am investigating this now. Also I need to run vrrp on two 
routers to test failover.
