I am proposing to defer the implementation of the "-f", "-a" and "-P"
options for the "vrrpadm create-router" subcommand in this case in
order to remove the case dependency between PSARC/2009/388
(VRRP update) and PSARC/2009/306 (ipadm and libipadm). A separate
PSARC  fast-track will be filed to add the "-f", "-a" and "-P" options
back that itself depend on PSARC/2009/306.

Note that without the "-f", "-a" and "-P" options, the VRRP VNICs will
still be able to be created using the dladm command, and the primary IP
address and the virtual IP addresses of a VRRP router will still be able
to be configured using other IP configuration tools (such as ifconfig or
the /etc/hostname.* files). Basically, the IP addresses configured by the
"vrrpadm -P" and "vrrpadm -a" command are not different from those
configured by other IP tools. The vrrpd daemon simply tracks all the IP
addresses configured over the underlying link and the VNIC, and
determines the primary IP address and virtual IP addresses, no matter
how those IP addresses are configured.

The PSARC materials are updated accordingly and will be placed in
the materials directory later.

Thanks
- Cathy
