About this task

Use the following procedure to view and graph IP VRRPv3 statistics for monitoring the network performance.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand the Configuration --> IP folders.
  2. Click VRRP.
  3. Click the V3 Interface tab.
  4. Select an interface, and click Graph.
  5. Select one or more values.
  6. Select a graph type, click one of the icons in the upper-left corner of the menu bar. Your choices are:
    • Line Chart

    • Area Chart

    • Bar Chart

    • Pie Chart

V3 Interface Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the V3 Interface tab.

Name

Description

IfIndex

Shows the index value that uniquely identifies the interface to which this entry applies.

VrId

Specifices a number that uniquely identifies a virtual router on a VRRP router.

PrimaryIpAddr

Specifies the virtual address assigned to the VRRP.

VirtualMacAddr

Specifies the MAC address of the virtual router interface.

State

Specifies the state of the virtual router interface:

  • Initialize—waiting for a startup event

  • Backup—monitoring availability and state of the master router

  • Master—functioning as the forwarding router for the virtual router IP addresses.

Control

Specifies whether VRRP is enabled or disabled for the port (or VLAN). The default is enabled.

Priority

Specifies the priority value used by this VRRP router. Set a value from 1 to 255, where 255 is reserved for the router that owns the IP addresses associated with the virtual router. The default is 100.

AdvInterval

Specifies the time interval (in seconds) between sending advertisement messages. The range is 1 to 255 seconds with a default of 1 second. Only the master router sends advertisements. The default is 1.

UpTime

Specifies the time interval (in hundredths of a second) since the virtual router was initialized.

CriticalIpAddr

This command specifies an IP interface on the local router, which is configured so that a change in its state causes a role switch in the virtual router (for example, from master to backup) in case the interface stops responding.
Note:

In this context, local implies an address from the same VRF as the IP interface where VRRP is being configured.

CriticalIpAddrEnabled

Configures the IP interface on the local router to enable or disable the backup. The default is disabled.

BackUpMaster

Enables the backup VRRP system traffic forwarding. The default is disabled.

BackUpMasterState

Indicates whether the backup VRRP system traffic forwarding is enabled or disabled. The default is disabled.

FasterAdvIntervalEnabled

Enables or disables the Fast Advertisement Interval. When disabled, the regular advertisement interval is used. The default is disable.

FasterAdvInterval

Configures the Fast Advertisement Interval between sending VRRP advertisement messages. The interval is between 200 and 1000 milliseconds, and you must enter the same value on all participating routers. The default is 200. You must enter the values in multiples of 200 milliseconds.

PreemptMode

Issued to preempt the existing router. If a new router is added to the network with its priority higher than the existing routers, then the new router becomes the master.

Action

Lists options to override the delay timer manually and force preemption:

  • none does not override the timer

  • preemptHoldDownTimer preempts the timer

HoldDownTimer

Indicates the hold-down state of this VRRP interface. If the hold-down timer is operational, this variable is set to active; otherwise, this variable is set to dormant.

HoldDownTimeRemaining

Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) left before the HoldDownTimer expires.

MasterAdvInterval

On the VRRPv3 master, the master advertisement interval is same as the advertisement interval. On the VRRPv3 Backup, the master advertisement interval is set to the Advertisement configured on the Master (received in the packet).
