WHEN TRACK INTERFACE COMES UP
The following section details the process followed by the Master and Backup
routers when the track-interface comes up.
R
OUTER IN MASTER STATE
• If the router is the address owner, then the router will set its operational priority to
255. Track interface is not supported if the router is the address owner.
• If the router is not the address owner, then the router will set its operational priority
to the configured priority.
R
OUTER IN BACKUP STATE
The router in backup state will take the following actions when the track interface
comes up.
Router is not the Address Owner:
The router will take the following action when it is not the address owner, and the
track interface comes up.
• Sets the priority of the router to the configured value and stays as backup.
• Any state changes that may need to happen will happen when the next
advertisement packet is received or when the master down timer fires.
E
NTERING MASTER STATE
The following actions are taken before entering the master state, when the track
interface is enabled:
• If the track interface is down, the router will decrement the priority of the VRRP
group from the configured VRRP priority.
• The router will send an advertisement with priority based on the decrement value
configured.
• The router will switch to backup state if a router with the next highest priority
overrides it. Else, the router will remain in master state to provide some minimal
set of services.
