VRRP Statistics
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the RackSwitch G8124 (G8124) provides
redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router
IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual
routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of
the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume
routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
When virtual routers are configured, you can display the following protocol statistics for VRRP:
 Advertisements received (vrrpInAdvers)
 Advertisements transmitted (vrrpOutAdvers)
 Advertisements received, but ignored (vrrpBadAdvers)
The statistics for the VRRP LAN are displayed:
