During negotiation, the router with the highest priority becomes the Master. If two or more devices are tied with the highest priority, the Backup interface with the highest IP address becomes the active router for the VRID. The current VRRP or VRRPE priority of this Layer 3 Switch for the VRID. The current priority can differ from the configured priority (see the row above) for the following reasons: • The VRID is still in the initialization stage and has not become a Master or Backup yet. In this case, the current priority is 0. • The VRID is configured with track ports and the link on a tracked interface has gone down. Refer to "Track ports and track priority" on page 1105. The configured value for the hello interval. This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, between Hello messages from the Master to the Backups for a given VRID. The configured value for the dead interval. This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, that a Backup waits for a Hello message from the Master for the VRID before determining that the Master is no longer active.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. The current value of the dead interval. This is the value, in number of milliseconds, actually in use by this interface for the VRID. NOTE: This field does not apply to VRRP Owners. Whether the backup preempt mode is enabled. NOTE: This field does not apply to VRRP Owners. The virtual IP addresses that this VRID is backing up. The IP addresses of Backups that have advertised themselves to this Layer 3 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. Refer to "Hello messages" on page 1105. The IP addresses of Backups that have advertised themselves to this Master by sending Hello messages. The 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 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). How long until the Backup sends its next Hello message. NOTE: This field applies only when this Layer 3 Switch is the Master and the Backup is configured to send Hello messages (the advertise backup option is enabled). 1126 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01
