Re: Proposal for Maintenance Event for VRRP [RFC-5798]

Hi Anurag,
     Thanks for clarification.

      If i am wrong, user is allowed to configure Priority value as 
zero(i.e., Maintenance_Event), priority value will be changed. And 
handling of the Maintenance_Event is done only in Master state and 
ignored in Backup and Init state.

Thanks,
Sreenatha
