Configuring VRRP and VRRPE
December 2000 21 - 23
Interface parameters
Interface The interface on which VRRP or VRRPE is configured. If VRRP or
VRRPE is configured on multiple interfaces, information for each
interface is listed separately.
auth-type The authentication type enabled on the interface.
VRID parameters
VRID The VRID configured on this interface. If multiple VRIDs are
configured on the interface, information for each VRID is listed
separately.
state This Layer 3 Switch’s VRRP or VRRPE 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
VRRPE has not been activated on the interface.
• enabled – VRRP or VRRPE 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 backup up by the VRID.
Note: This field applies only to VRRP. All Layer 3 Switches
configured for VRRPE are Backups.
priority The device’s 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.
