Field Description
Operational Priority Indicates the priority to be used for the virtual router master election
process. Higher values imply higher priority.
• A priority of 0 is sent by the master router to indicate that this
router has ceased to participate in VRRP and a backup virtual
router transitions to become a new master.
• A priority of 255 is used for the router that owns the associated IP
addresses.
Interface IP Address Indicates the IP address associated with the selected interface.
Owner Set to True if the virtual IP address and the interface IP address are the
same, otherwise set to False. If this parameter is set to True, the virtual
router is the owner of the virtual IP address, and always wins an
election for master router when it is active.
VMAC Address The virtual MAC address associated with the virtual router, composed
of a 24-bit organizationally unique identifier, the 16-bit constant
identifying the VRRP address block and the 8-bit VRID.
State The current state of the virtual router. Possible values are as follows:
• Initialize
• Master
• Backup
