# Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) Group Status

To access this dialog box:

1. Select Port > Configure > HSRP Configuration.
2. With an entry selected, click Status.

This dialog box provides the HSRP status of a group on an interface.

The following information is displayed:

- Virtual Ipaddress (cHsrpGrpVirtualIpAddr)
- Virtual Ipaddress Type (cHsrpGrpUseConfigVirtualIpAddr)
- Active Router (cHsrpGrpActiveRouter)
- Standby Router (cHsrpGrpStandbyRouter)
- HSRP State (cHsrpGrpStandbyState)
- Virtual Mac Address (cHsrpGrpVirtualMacAddr)

The following list specifies buttons in this dialog box, as well as their function:

- Click OK to continue.

- Click Apply to save the changes in the dialog box.

- Click Cancel to close the dialog box.

- Click Refresh to update the contents of the dialog box.

- Click Print to print the contents of the dialog box.

- Click Help to access online help.

Virtual Ipaddress (cHsrpGrpVirtualIpAddr)

Primary virtual IP address used by this group. If this address is configured (i.e., a non-zero IP address), this value is used. Otherwise, the agent will attempt to learn the virtual address through a discovery process (which scans hello messages).

Virtual Ipaddress Type (cHsrpGrpUseConfigVirtualIpAddr)

If the value of this object is "true", cHsrpGrpVirtualIpAddr was configured. Otherwise, it indicates that cHsrpGrpVirtualIpAddr was learned.

Active Router (cHsrpGrpActiveRouter)

IP address of the current active router for this group.

Standby Router (cHsrpGrpStandbyRouter)

IP address of the current standby router for this group.

HSRP State (cHsrpGrpStandbyState)

Current HSRP state of this group on this interface.

Virtual Mac Address (cHsrpGrpVirtualMacAddr)

The MAC addresses used are specified in RFC-2281. For Ethernet and FDDI interfaces, MAC addresses will range from 00:00:0c:07:ac:00 to 00:00:0c:07:ac:ff. The last octet is the hexadecimal equivalent of cHsrpGrpNumber (0-255).

Some Ethernet and FDDI interfaces allow a Unicast MAC address for each HSRP group. Certain Ethernet chipsets (LANCE Ethernet, VGANYLAN and QUICC Ethernet) only support a single Unicast MAC address. In this case, only one HSRP group is allowed.

For Token Ring interfaces, the following three MAC addresses (functional addresses) are permitted: C0:00:00:01:00:00, C0:00:00:02:00:00, and C0:00:00:04:00:00.
