Displaying the active interfaces for a VRID
On a VSRP-aware device, you can display VLAN and port information for the connections to the
VSRP devices (Master and Backups).
To display the active VRID interfaces, enter the following command on the VSRP-aware device.
PowerConnect#show vsrp aware
Aware port listing
VLAN ID VRID Last Port
100 1 3/2
200 2 4/1
Syntax: show vsrp aware
This display shows the following information when you use the aware parameter. For information
about the display when you use the vrid
<num> or vlan <vlan-id> parameter, refer to “Displaying
VRID information” on page 376.
dead-interval The configured value for the dead interval. The dead interval is the number of
seconds a Backup waits for a Hello message from the Master for the VRID before
determining that the Master is no longer active.
If the Master does not send a Hello message before the dead interval expires, the
Backups negotiate (compare priorities) to select a new Master for the VRID.
NOTE: If the value is 0, then you have not configured this parameter.
hold-interval The number of seconds a Backup that intends to become the Master will wait
before actually beginning to forward Layer 2 traffic for the VRID.
If the Backup receives a Hello message with a higher priority than its own before the
hold-down interval expires, the Backup remains in the Backup state and does not
become the new Master.
initial-ttl The number of hops a Hello message can traverse after leaving the device before
the Hello message is dropped.
NOTE: An MRP ring counts as one hop, regardless of the number of nodes in the
ring.
next hello sent in The amount of time until the Master dead interval expires. If the Backup does not
receive a Hello message from the Master by the time the interval expires, either the
IP address listed for the Master will change to the IP address of the new Master, or
this Layer 3 Switch itself will become the Master.
NOTE: This field applies only when this device is a Backup.
Member ports The ports in the VRID.
Operational ports The member ports that are currently up.
Forwarding ports The member ports that are currently in the Forwarding state. Ports that are
forwarding on the Master are listed. Ports on the Standby, which are in the Blocking
state, are not listed.
