Field

Description

 

 

priorityZeroTx

Total number of VRRP advertisements with a priority of 0

 

that this virtual router has sent. The priority of zero (0)

 

indicates that this virtual router was acting as Master but

 

stopped participating in VRRP. Used to trigger backup

 

routers to quickly transition to Master without having to

 

wait for the current Master to time out.

State

Current state of the VRRP router. One of the following:

 

Master — In this state, the router is the active

 

forwarding router for all IP addresses that are

 

associated with the virtual router.

 

Backup — In this state, the router monitors the

 

availability of the Master router. If the Master router

 

fails, the Backup router assumes forwarding

 

responsibility for all IP addresses that are associated

 

with the virtual router.

 

Initialize — Transitional state between Backup

 

and Master states. Typically indicates that the virtual

 

router has been configured but not enabled, or that

 

the virtual router mode has been set to disabled.

 

In this state, the router waits for a Startup event.

 

When the router receives the Startup event, it

 

broadcasts an ARP request that contains the virtual

 

router MAC address for all IP addresses that are

 

associated with the virtual router and transitions to the

 

Master state. If the Startup event is not received, it

 

transitions to the Backup state.

Type

Type of virtual router: primary or backup

versionErrors

Total number of VRRP advertisements with an unknown

 

or unsupported version number that this virtual router has

 

received

VLAN Index

Index number of the virtual LAN (VLAN) on which the

 

virtual router is defined

VRID

Virtual Router ID. Number that identifies the virtual router

 

on the LAN
