VRRP General

Field

Description

IP Address Type, VrId, Interface

The IP address type (IPv4, IPv6, or DNS), the virtual router ID, and the interface.

Admin

The admin state of the virtual router (active or notInService).

Oper

The current state of the virtual router. There are three defined values:

  • `initialize', which indicates that all the virtual router is waiting for a startup event.
  • `backup', which indicates the virtual router is monitoring the availability of the master router.
  • master', which indicates that the virtual router is forwarding frames for IP addresses that are associated with this router.

Priority

Specifies the priority to be used for the virtual router master election process. Higher values imply higher priority. A priority of '0' 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).

AdvInterval

The time interval, in seconds, between sending advertisement messages. Only the master router sends VRRP advertisements.

PreemptMode

Controls whether a higher priority virtual router will preempt a lower priority master.

UpTime

When this virtual router transitioned out of `initialized'.

Version

The VRRP version on which this VRRP instance is running.

AcceptMode

Controls whether a virtual router in Master state will accept packets addressed to the address owner's IPv6 address as its own if it is not the IPv6 address owner. If true, the virtual router in Master state will accept. If false, the virtual router in Master state will not accept.
