TABLE 128

Field

Description

dead interval

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the Master is no longer active.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.

NOTE
All timer fields (Hello interval, dead interval, current dead interval, and so on) are displayed
in milliseconds.

current dead interval The current value of the dead interval. This value is equal to the value configured for the

dead interval.

If the value for the dead interval is not configured, then the current dead interval is equal to
three times the Hello interval plus Skew time (where Skew time is equal to 256 minus
priority divided by 256).

NOTE
This field does not apply to VRRP Owners.

preempt mode

Whether the backup preempt mode is enabled.

NOTE
This field does not apply to VRRP Owners.

virtual ip address

The virtual IP addresses that this VRID is backing up. The address can be an IPv4 or IPv6
address.

virtual mac address

The virtual MAC addresses for the VRID. The MAC address can be an IPv4 or IPv6
address.

advertise backup

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.
