The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) property displays the following information.
- IF Index. Lists the interface index on which HSRP is configured.
- Use Configured Virtual IP. Lists the setting used to determine if a configured Virtual IP Address is used. The available options are:
- TRUE - Virtual IP Address is configured
- FALSE - Virtual IP Address was learned
- Preempt. Lists the setting used to determine if a router should attempt to overthrow a lower priority active router and attempt to become the active router. The available options are:
- TRUE - the router should attempt to overthrow lower priority active routers.
- FALSE - the router should not attempt to overthrow lower priority routers; this router will become active only if there are no active routers.
- Preempt Delay. Lists the time difference between power up and the time the router can start preempting the currently active router.
- Use Configured Timers. Lists setting that determines whether the router should use configured hellotime and holdtime. The available options are :
- TRUE - use configured hellotime and holdtime
- FALSE - use learned hellotime and holdtime
- Configured Hello Time. Lists the configured hellotime, which is used to determine the frequency of generating hello messages; all routers in a LAN must use the same hellotime. The configured hellotime is used when a router is the active router, otherwise it uses the learned hellotime which is propogated by the active router.
- Configured Hold Time. Lists the configured holdtime; all routers in a LAN should use the same holdtime. The configured holdtime is used when a router is the active router, otherwise it uses the learned holdtime which is propogated by the active router.
- Learned Hello Time. Lists the current learned hellotime.
- Learned Hold Time. Lists the current learned holdtime.
Note: HSRP is the Cisco implementation of VRRP. The information relates to the standby nature of routers.
