Configuring VRRP on HP Procurve 5400zl - is it that easy?

I'd like to setup VRRP on a set of switches I have and they're in production. The switch IPs are currently set to .1 and .2. Do I need to change the currently configured switch IPs to enable VRRP VIP? From HP's documentation it doesn't seem like I need to, which almost seems too convenient.

Configure the router's real IP address for the current VLAN interface as the VIP for the VR instance.

I'm going to try it out on a test VLAN to see what it does.

Is there any good way to test this without pulling plugs?
