Description
Priority of the virtual router. Represented by a value from
0 through 255. Used in Master router election. Value of
255 indicates that the router owns the IP addresses that
are associated with the virtual router.
0 indicates that the current Master has stopped
participating in VRRP.
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 of virtual router: primary or backup
