IIRC, the vrrp-group identifier works via the mac address of the vrrp packets,
so it has to be unique for each broadcast domain.

As said above, vrrp-group has to be unique per broadcast-domain which is per
vlan. You may use "vrrp-group 1" as often as you like, as long as they talk on
different vlans (which is a very comfortable way, since you can easily use
apply-groups for the common config values).

Kind regards,

Malte
