10 Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) TABLE 64 CLI display of VSRP VRID or VLAN information (Continued) This field... Displays... dead-interval hold-interval initial-ttl next hello sent in Member ports Operational ports Forwarding ports The configured value for the dead interval. The dead interval is 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number of seconds a Backup waits for a Hello message from the Master for the VRID before determining that the Master is no longer active.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. NOTE: If the value is 0, then you have not configured this parameter. The number of seconds a Backup that intends to become the Master will wait before actually beginning to forward Layer 2 traffic for the VRID. If the Backup receives a Hello message with a higher priority than its own before the hold-down interval expires, the Backup remains in the Backup state and does not become the new Master. The number of hops a Hello message can traverse after leaving the device before the Hello message is dropped. NOTE: An MRP ring counts as one hop, regardless of the number of nodes in the ring. The amount of time until the Master dead interval expires. If the Backup does not receive a Hello message from the Master by the time the interval expires, either the IP address listed for the Master will change to the IP address of the new Master, or this Layer 3 Switch itself will become the Master. NOTE: This field applies only when this device is a Backup. The ports in the VRID. The member ports that are currently up. The member ports that are currently in the Forwarding state. Ports that are forwarding on the Master are listed. Ports on the Standby, which are in the Blocking state, are not listed. Displaying the active interfaces for a VRID On a VSRP-aware device, you can display VLAN and port information for the connections to the VSRP devices (Master and Backups). To display the active VRID interfaces, enter the following command on the VSRP-aware device. PowerConnect#show vsrp aware Aware port listing VLAN ID VRID Last Port 100 1 3/2 200 2 4/1 Syntax: show vsrp aware This display shows the following information when you use the aware parameter. For information about the display when you use the vrid or vlan parameter, refer to "Displaying VRID information" on page 376. TABLE 65 CLI display of VSRP-aware information This field... Displays... VLAN ID The VLAN that contains the VSRP-aware device connection with the VSRP Master and Backups. 378 PowerConnect B-Series FCX Configuration Guide 53-1002266-01
