Field

Description

 

 

 

 

State

The state of the virtual router. Possible states

 

 

are:

 

 

initialize - The virtual router is not

 

 

functional.

 

 

backup - The virtual router is monitoring

 

 

the availability of the master router.

 

 

master - The virtual router is forwarding

 

 

packets with IP addresses associated with

 

 

this virtual router.

 

 

 

 

Master IP Address

The IP address of the physical router currently

 

 

acting as the Virtual Router’s Master Router.

 

 

 

 

Priority

This object specifies the priority to be used for

 

 

the virtual router master election process.

 

 

Higher values imply higher priority.

 

 

A priority of '0', although not settable, is sent by

 

 

the master router to indicate that this router has

 

 

ceased to participate in VRRP and a backup

 

 

virtual router should transition to become a

 

 

new master.

 

 

A priority of 255 is used for the router that

 

 

owns the associated IP address(es).

 

 

 

 

Virtual Route Up

The time when the virtual router’s state

 

Time

changed from initialized to backup or master. The

 

 

time is expressed in ticks (1/60 of a second).

 

 

 

 

Advertise Interval

The interval, in seconds, between VRRP

 

 

advertisement messages sent by the master

 

 

router.

 

 

 

 

MAC Address

The virtual MAC address of the virtual router.

 

 

 

 

Primary IP Address

The physical router’s IP address to be used if it is

 

 

elected to be Master Router. The Primary IP

 

 

Address must belong to the physical router and

 

 

be on the selected VLAN.

 

 

If this parameter is set to 0.0.0.0, the IP address

 

 

which is numerically lowest will be selected.

 

 

 

 

Preempt Mode

If checked, the virtual router with the highest

 

 

priority will preempt active routers and become

 

 

the master router.
