The current status of the devices in the VRRP group is showed in LANmonitor as long as the VRRP module is activated:
In the device activity log, VRRP events can be viewed in chronological order.
Status information on VRRP can be found in the IP router's status menu and offers the following entries:
- The values Rx and Tx count the VRRP packets received or sent, respectively.
- Error counts all fatal protocol errors that are logged.
- Drop counts all VRRP packets that are dropped, e.g. when a serious error occurred.
In the Virtual Router table, all active virtual routers are listed with their current status. This table has the following fields:
- Router-ID: Unique ID for the virtual router.
- Virt. address: IP address for the virtual router.
- Prio: Main priority for the virtual router.
- B-Prio: Backup priority for the virtual router.
- Peer: Name of the remote site that controls the virtual router behavior.
- State: State of the virtual router. The following states are possible:
- Init: The router is currently being set up.
- Listen: The router is currently learning which device is the master.
- Standby: The router is the standby router.
- Master: The router is the master.
- Down: The router is deactivated.
- Reconnect: The reconnect timer is running and the router is currently not propagating itself.
- Backup: Shows if the remote site (peer) is in backup or not. If the remote site is in backup, then the device will propagate its backup priority, otherwise it will propagate its main priority.
- Master: Shows which of the physical routers is currently the master.
The MAC list table displays the MAC addresses for the virtual routers that are currently masters. This table has the following fields:
- Virt. address: IP address for the virtual router.
- MAC-Address: MAC address for the virtual router.
- Router-ID: Unique ID for the virtual router.
