To view the status of a VR

Purpose

The status of a VR informs you of potential problems, such as problems involving VR preconditions and operational states. You can view the following virtual status information:

  • Aggregated Operational State—indicates the collective operational states of the VRRP instances in the VR, such as whether all instances are up, all instances are down, or one or more is down

  • Number Of VRRP Instances—the number of owner and non-owner VRRP instances in the current VR

  • Multiple Owners configured—one owner for each VR

  • VR Instance(s) Down—one or more VRs are not working

  • Backup Address Mismatch—the backup address for a VRRP instance does not match the primary IP address of the owner, and so does not match the VR IP address

  • Only one instance configured—only one VR instance exists, either a master or backup; both are required

  • Subnet Mismatch—the IP addresses of the owner and non-owner routers do not belong to the same subnet

  • No Owner configured—an IP address owner is not assigned to the current VR
