VRRP tab items

Item	Description
VrId	A number that uniquely identifies a virtual router on a given VRRP router. The virtual router acts as the default router for one or more assigned addresses (1 to 255).
IpAddr	IP address of the virtual router interface.
VirtualMacAddr (VRRP tab only)	MAC address of the virtual router interface.
State (VRRP tab only)	The state of the virtual router interface: initialize: waiting for a startup event backup: monitoring availability and state of the master router master: functioning as the forwarding router for the virtual router IP address(es)
Control	Whether VRRP is enabled or disabled for the port or VLAN.
Priority	Priority value to be used by this VRRP router. Set a value from 1 to 255, where 255 is reserved for the router that owns the IP addresses associated with the virtual router. The default is 100.
MasterIpAddr (VRRP tab only)	The IP address of the physical interface of the master virtual router that has the responsibility of forwarding packets sent to the virtual IP address(es) associated with the virtual router.
AdvertisementInterval	The time interval (in seconds) between sending advertisement messages. Set from 1 to 255 seconds with a default of 1 second. Only the master router sends advertisements.
VirtualRouterUpTime (VRRP tab only)	The time interval (in hundredths of a second) since the virtual router was initialized.
CriticalIpAddrEnable
CriticalIpAddr	An IP interface on the local router configured so that a change in its state would cause a role switch in the virtual router (for example, from master to backup) in case the interface stops responding.
HoldDownTimer	The time interval (in seconds) a router is delayed when changing to master state.
HoldDownState	Status is active when the Hold Down Timer is counting down and preemption occurs; the text box displays dormant when preemption is not pending.
HoldDownTimeRemaining	The seconds remaining before preemption.
OperAction	Use the action list to manually override the delay timer and force preemption: preemption--preempt the timer none--allow the timer to keep working
