BTW here is the network configuration we set as

BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEVICE=eth0
DHCPV6C=yes
HWADDR=<MAC Address>
IPV6INIT=yes
_ONBOOT_=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no

Thanks Bo for your response to my email.

Below is the parameters:

  if_up_cmd = '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ip addr add $_IP_$/24 dev enp0s8 label enp0s8:0'
  if_down_cmd = '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ip addr del $_IP_$/24 dev enp0s8'
  arping_cmd = '/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/arping -U $_IP_$ -w 1 -I enp0s8'


The above commands are working on Leader node. and once the VIP is up successfully then we can run the pcp commands via VIP host work only from the leader node locally. if we try to execute the PCP comands via VIP 
throws an error 
ERROR: connection to host "<VIP>" failed with error "No route to host"

What's the possible cause in this case?

If you want to configure a new cluster,
we recommend using the latest version.

The existing connections will be disconnected if primary DB is down.
However, the subsequent connections will be routed to the new primary.

Yes.

No limitations in Pgpool-II, it depends on the OS.
Pgpool-II using "ip addr ..." command to assign or release a delegate IP.

Below is the parameters:

  if_up_cmd = '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ip addr add $_IP_$/24 dev enp0s8 label enp0s8:0'
  if_down_cmd = '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ip addr del $_IP_$/24 dev enp0s8'
  arping_cmd = '/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/arping -U $_IP_$ -w 1 -I enp0s8'

You need to make sure the commands work.

You need to make sure the non-root user can execute ip and arping command with sudo
without a password.
