As I know, VRRP does not support icmp echo replies on the virtual IP.
The owner replies because it has a physical interface with the same IP,
however if a backup becomes active, it'll only have the virtual IP, so
it won't answer.
One of the things Brocade always announces about it's VRRP-E is that it
always replies to ping.
Most vendors provide a config statement to enable pinging the virtual
IP, but that's not strictly following the RFC.

Two routers, MLXe, simple VRRP configuration. The master has my .1 address,
and all works fine, If I shutdown the VE interface on the master for testing,
in a few seconds routing resumes on the VE interface of my backup router.
However, I never can ping the same .1 address while the backup router is
active. Re-enable the master VE interface and I can ping .1 again, and of
course the hosts are still happy.
Is that expected behavior?
Thanks
