Hi Cjoseph
What is the priority of the backup? -> Master 110 and Backup 100
How are the controllers physically connected to your infrastructure? ->Both are connected to same L3 switch.
Are they connected via trunk? -> It is trunk ports.
Do you use spanning tree? -> No
What is the output of "show vrrp 100 statistics" on both sides?
(Primary) #show vrrp 100 statistics
