What is cvsVSLTxRrpPkts?

This counts the number of Role Resolution Protocol packets transmitted over the VSL, the protocol used to negotiate which chassis takes the active versus standby role. An admin cares because RRP activity directly relates to virtual switch role negotiation, so a burst of this traffic often coincides with a role election or failover event. For example, a spike in this counter around the same time as a chassis reload would reflect the two chassis renegotiating active and standby roles.

Examples
