VRRP Status

The status of VRRP VR addresses is included in the output of show interface [<if-name>]. To view only the VRRP status and no other information, use show interface [<if-name>] ip vrrp-virtual-router for IPv4 or show interface [<if-name>] ipv6 vrrp-virtual-router for IPv6.

r1 tnsr# show interface ip vrrp-virtual-router
Interface: TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0
    IPv4 VRRP:
        VR: 220
            State: master, Priority: 255, Flags:             Addresses: 203.0.113.2
            Timers: Adv 100cs, Master down 300cs, Skew 0cs

Interface: TenGigabitEthernet6/0/1
    IPv4 VRRP:
        VR: 210
            State: master, Priority: 255, Flags:             Addresses: 198.51.100.1
            Timers: Adv 100cs, Master down 300cs, Skew 0cs

r2 tnsr# show interface ip vrrp-virtual-router
Interface: TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0
    IPv4 VRRP:
        VR: 220
            State: backup, Priority: 100, Flags:             Addresses: 203.0.113.2
            Timers: Adv 100cs, Master down 341cs, Skew 41cs

Interface: TenGigabitEthernet6/0/1
    IPv4 VRRP:
        VR: 210
            State: backup, Priority: 100, Flags:             Addresses: 198.51.100.1
            Timers: Adv 100cs, Master down 341cs, Skew 41cs

In a properly configured cluster in a normal state, the output should be similar to the above sample. The primary node will show master for the state of all configured VR addresses, and the secondary node will show backup.
