Displaying and Debugging VRRP 657

Configure Standby

The master router of a VRRP standby group notifies its normal operation state to

Group Timer

the routers within the group by sending them VRRP packets regularly

 

(adver_interval). If the backup routers fail to receive the VRRP packets over a

 

certain period of time (master_down_interval), they reach the conclusion that the

 

master routers are not functioning properly and will change their own state to

 

master.

 

 

The user can adjust the master routers' sending interval (adver_interval) of VRRP

 

packets by configuring the timer command. The master_down_interval of the

 

backup routers are three times that of the adver_interval. Too much network

 

traffic or the differences of different router timers will result in abnormal

 

master_down_interval and state switchover. Such problems can be solved through

 

prolonging the adver_interval and configuring delay time.

 

Perform the following configuration in interface view:

 

Table 708 Configure VRRP Timer

 

 

 

 

 

Operation

Command

 

 

 

 

Configure VRRP timer

vrrp vrid virtual_router_id

 

 

timer-advertise seconds

 

 

 

 

Restore the default value of VRRP timer

undo vrrp vrid virtual_router_id

 

 

timer-advertise

 

 

 

 

By default adver_interval is set 1 seconds, namely, the default value of

 

adver_interval is 1 second, while the default value of master_down_interval is 3

 

seconds.

 

Monitoring the

The interface monitoring function of VRRP expands backup function: when the

Specified Interface

interface of the router is unavailable, it is regarded that the router is not stable,

 

hence it should not act as a master router. After the interface monitoring function

 

is set, the router's priority will be adjusted dynamically according to the state of

 

the interface that is under monitoring. Once the monitored interface becomes

 

unavailable, the priority value of this router is reduced, so that another router with

 

a more stable interface state in the same backup group can act as a master router

 

more easily

 

 

Perform the following configuration in Ethernet interface view:

 

Table 709 Configure Monitoring Interface

 

 

 

 

Operation

Command

 

 

 

 

Set to monitor the specified interface

vrrp vrid virtual_router_id track

 

 

interface_type interface_number [

 

 

reduced priority ]

 

 

 

 

Cancel the monitoring of the specified

undo vrrp vrid virtual_router_id

 

interface

track interface_type

 

 

interface_number

 

 

 

 

By default interface-priority is 10.
