31 VRRP and VRRPE parameters TABLE 194 VRRP and VRRPE parameters (Continued) Parameter Description Default See page... Dead interval Backup Hello interval Track port Track priority Backup preempt mode Timer scale VRRP-E slow start timer 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number of seconds a Backup waits for a Hello message from the Master for the VRID before determining that the Master is no longer active.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. Three times the Hello Interval plus one-half second page 1105 page 1118 The number of seconds between Hello messages from a Backup to the Master. 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 (whether the VRRP Owner or a Backup) sends Hello messages by default. Disabled 60 seconds when enabled page 1105 page 1118 Another Layer 3 Switch port or virtual interface whose link status is tracked by the VRID interface. If the link for a tracked interface goes down, the VRRP or VRRPE priority of the VRID interface is changed, causing the devices to renegotiate for Master. None page 1105 page 1118 A VRRP or VRRPE priority value assigned to the tracked ports. If a tracked port link goes down, the VRID port VRRP or VRRPE priority changes: • VRRP - The priority changes to the value of the tracked port priority. • VRRPE - The VRID port priority is reduced by the amount of the tracked port priority. VRRP - 2 VRRPE - 5 page 1105 page 1119 Prevents a Backup with a higher VRRP priority from taking Enabled control of the VRID from another Backup that has a lower priority but has already assumed control of the VRID. page 1119 Adjusts the timers for the Hello interval, Dead interval, 1 Backup Hello interval, and Hold-down interval. page 1120 This feature causes a specified amount of time to elapse between the time the Master is restored and when it takes over from the Backup. This interval allows time for OSPF convergence when the Master is restored. Disabled page 1120 1112 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01
