Configuring VRRP and VRRPE
Table 12.3: CLI Display of VRRP or VRRPE Detailed Information (Continued)
This Field... | Displays... |
|
|
state | This routing switch’s VRRP or VRRPE state for the VRID. The state |
| can be one of the following: |
| • initialize – The VRID is not enabled (activated). If the state |
| remains “initialize” after you activate the VRID, make sure that |
| the VRID is also configured on the other routers and that the |
| routers can communicate with each other. |
| Note: If the state is “initialize” and the mode is incomplete, make |
| sure you have specified the IP address for the VRID. |
| • backup – This routing switch is a Backup for the VRID. |
| • master – This routing switch is the Master for the VRID. |
|
|
The administrative status of the VRID. The administrative status can | |
| be one of the following: |
| • disabled – The VRID is configured on the interface but VRRP or |
| VRRPE has not been activated on the interface. |
| • enabled – VRRP or VRRPE has been activated on the interface. |
|
|
mode | Indicates whether the routing switch is the Owner or a Backup for the |
| VRID. |
| Note: If “incomplete” appears after the mode, configuration for this |
| VRID is incomplete. For example, you might not have configured the |
| virtual IP address that is being backup up by the VRID. |
| Note: This field applies only to VRRP. All routing switches configured |
| for VRRPE are Backups. |
|
|
priority | The device’s preferability for becoming the Master for the VRID. |
| During negotiation, the router with the highest priority becomes the |
| Master. |
| If two or more devices are tied with the highest priority, the Backup |
| interface with the highest IP address becomes the active router for the |
| VRID. |
|
|
current priority | The current VRRP or VRRPE priority of this routing switch for the |
| VRID. The current priority can differ from the configured priority (see |
| the row above) for the following reasons: |
| • The VRID is still in the initialization stage and has not become a |
| Master or Backup yet. In this case, the current priority is 0. |
| • The VRID is configured with track ports and the link on a tracked |
| interface has gone down. See “Track Ports and Track Priority” on |
| |
|
|
The number of seconds between Hello messages from the Master to | |
| the Backups for a given VRID. |
