Issue/Introduction
An X-series chassis pair configured with LACP interfaces (group-interface link aggregation) and running VRRP protocol does not failover if the LACP interfaces are not monitored in VRRP.
When any of the configured interfaces for insidemlt fail and not in an active distributing LACP state, the VRRP priority is not decremented and could result in potential issues.

Resolution
It is recommended that the group interfaces(LACP) are monitored within VRRP and if any of the links fails, configured priority is decremented triggering a chassis failover.
The dist-port-threshold defines the number of ports that must be in the active distributing state to retain the configured priority within VRRP. If the number of ports in that state fall below this value, the associated priority-delta is subtracted from the vrrp priority of the virtual-router, which if desired, could result in a VRRP failover.
