Configuring Basic Vsrp Parameters Using The Cli - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Parameter Description
Backup Hello The amount of time between Hello messages from a
state and Backup to the Master.
interval
The message interval can be from 60 – 3600
seconds.
You must enable the Backup to send the messages.
The messages are disabled by default on Backups.
The current Master sends Hello messages by default.
Hold-down The amount of time a Backup that has sent a Hello
interval packet announcing its intent to become Master waits
before beginning to forward traffic for the VRID. The
hold-down interval prevents Layer 2 loops from
occurring during VSRP's rapid failover.
The interval can from 1 – 84 seconds.
Track priority A VSRP priority value assigned to the tracked port(s).
If a tracked port's link goes down, the VRID port's
VSRP priority is reduced by the amount of the tracked
port's priority.
Track port A track port is a port or virtual routing interface that is
outside the VRID but whose link state is tracked by
the VRID. Typically, the tracked interface represents
the other side of VRID traffic flow through the device.
If the link for a tracked interface goes down, the VSRP
priority of the VRID interface is changed, causing the
devices to renegotiate for Master.
Backup preempt Prevents a Backup with a higher VSRP priority from
mode taking control of the VRID from another Backup that
has a lower priority but has already assumed control
of the VRID.
VRID active The active state of the VSRP VRID.
state
RIP Parameters
Suppression of A Routing Switch that is running RIP normally
RIP advertises routes to a backed up VRID even when the
advertisements Routing Switch is not currently the active Routing
Switch for the VRID. Suppression of these
advertisements helps ensure that other Routing
Switches do not receive invalid route paths for the
VRID.
Note: This parameter is valid only on Routing
Switches.
