TABLE 22

Field

Description

priority

The device preferability for becoming the Master for the VRID. During negotiation, the
Backup with the highest priority becomes the Master.

If two or more Backups are tied with the highest priority, the Backup interface with the
highest IP address becomes the Master for the VRID.

hello-interval

The number of seconds between Hello messages from the Master to the Backups for
a given VRID.

dead-interval

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determining that the Master is no longer active.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.

hold-interval

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.

initial-ttl

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.

next hello sent in

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.

Member ports

The ports in the VRID.

Operational ports

The member ports that are currently up.

Forwarding ports

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.
