This Field...

Displays...

 

 

 

 

 

 

dead-interval

The configured value for the dead interval. The dead interval is the

 

 

 

number of seconds a Backup waits for a Hello message from the

 

 

 

Master for the VRID before determining that the Master is no longer

 

 

 

active.

 

 

 

If the Master does not send a Hello message before the dead interval

 

 

 

expires, the Backups negotiate (compare priorities) to select a new

 

 

 

Master for the VRID.

 

 

 

Note: If the value is 0, then you have not configured this parameter.

 

 

 

Note: This field does not apply to VRRP Owners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

current dead-interval

The current value of the dead interval. This is the value actually in

 

 

 

use by this interface for the VRID.

 

 

 

Note: This field does not apply to VRRP Owners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

preempt-mode

Whether the backup preempt mode is enabled.

 

 

 

Note: This field does not apply to VRRP Owners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

virtual ip address

The virtual IP addresses that this VRID is backing up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

advertise backup

The IP addresses of Backups that have advertised themselves to this

 

 

 

routing switch by sending Hello messages.

 

 

 

Note: Hello messages from Backups are disabled by default. You

 

 

 

must enable the Hello messages on the Backup for the Backup to

 

 

 

advertise itself to the current Master. See “Hello Messages” on

 

 

 

page 12-4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

backup router <ip-addr> expires in

The IP addresses of Backups that have advertised themselves to this

 

 

<time>

Master by sending Hello messages.

 

 

 

The <time> value indicates how long before the Backup expires. A

 

 

 

Backup expires if you disable the advertise backup option on the

 

 

 

Backup or the Backup becomes unavailable. Otherwise, the Backup’s

 

 

 

next Hello message arrives before the Backup expires. The Hello

 

 

 

message resets the expiration timer.

 

 

 

An expired Backup does not necessarily affect the Master. However,

 

 

 

if you have not disabled the advertise backup option on the Backup,

 

 

 

then the expiration may indicate a problem with the Backup.

 

 

 

Note: This field applies only when Hello messages are enabled on

 

 

 

the Backups (using the advertise backup option).

 

 

 

 

 

 

next hello sent in <time>

How long until the Backup sends its next Hello message.

 

 

 

Note: This field applies only when this routing switch is the Master

 

 

 

and the Backup is configured to send Hello messages (the advertise

 

 

 

backup option is enabled).

 

 

 

 

 

 

master router <ip-addr> expires in

The IP address of the Master and the amount of time until the

 

 

<time>

Master’s dead interval expires. If the Backup does not receive a Hello

 

 

 

message from the Master by the time the interval expires, either the IP

 

 

 

address listed for the Master will change to the IP address of the new

 

 

 

Master, or this routing switch itself will become the Master.

 

 

 

Note: This field applies only when this routing switch is a Backup.
