Hello,
I'd be careful with verb "own" and its derivatives in context of VRRP. It has a special meaning:
Alright... but I *did* use the quotes around "own" to signify it was a bit of a liberty with the definition of "own."
"Answers for" or "Responds to ARP for" would be more strictly correct than "own" in this case, yes, but I find that "own" gets the high-level point across. Pedantic details obviously would require more exactness.
Of course we could further confuse the matter by bringing HSRP, VRRP-E, GLBP, etc., into the mix.
