TABLE 128

Field

Description

state

This Layer 3 switch VRRP, VRRP v3, VRRP-E, or IPv6 VRRP-E state for the VRID. The
state can be one of the following:

• initialize - The VRID is not enabled (activated). If the state remains "initialize" after you

activate the VRID, make sure that the VRID is also configured on the other routers and
that the routers can communicate with each other.

NOTE
If the state is "initialize" and the mode is incomplete, make sure you have specified the IP
address for the VRID.

• backup - This Layer 3 switch is a Backup for the VRID.
• master - This Layer 3 switch is the Master for the VRID.

administrative-status The administrative status of the VRID. The administrative status can be one of the

following:

• disabled - The VRID is configured on the interface but VRRP or VRRP-E has not been

activated on the interface.

• enabled - VRRP, VRRP v3, VRRP-E, or IPv6 VRRP-E has been activated on the

interface.

mode

Indicates whether the Layer 3 switch is the Owner or a Backup for the VRID.

NOTE
If "incomplete" appears after the mode, configuration for this VRID is incomplete. For
example, you might not have configured the virtual IP address that is being backed up by
the VRID.

NOTE
This field applies only to VRRP or VRRP v3. All Layer 3 switches configured for VRRP-E
are Backups.

priority

The device preferability for becoming the Master for the VRID. 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.

current priority

The current VRRP, VRRP v3, VRRP-E, or IPv6 VRRP-E priority of this Layer 3 switch for
the VRID. The current priority can differ from the configured priority (refer to the priority
field) for the following reason:

The current priority can differ from the configured priority in the VRID if the VRID is
configured with track ports and the link on a tracked interface has gone down.

hello-interval

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.

NOTE
In some VRRP command outputs, Hello interval timers are displayed in seconds instead of
milliseconds.
