Incorrect VRRP States

Make sure the interfaces are up and running by using the show interface command. If the interface is down, give the no shutdown command in interface mode to bring up the interface.

Or

Use the ifconfig IFNAME up command to bring up the interface.

 

Make sure the interface has an IP address in the that matches the subnet of the VRRP session’s virtual-ip.

If not exist, add the ip address in interface mode using the command “ip address A.B.C.D/M”

The configured IP address is displayed in the output of “show running-config interface <IFNAME>”

 

Make sure that both VRRP routers can reach each other by pinging.

If both routers cannot reach each other, check the network connections for the default Master and default Backup routers.

 

Check the advertisement interval on Master and Backup routers. The advertisement interval must be the same on both. The default advertisement interval = 1 second.

 

Use the advertisement-interval command in router mode to configure the advertisement interval.
