HSRP State |
Description |
|
Initial |
This state is entered through a configuration change or when an interface first becomes available. |
|
Learn |
The router has not determined the virtual IP address and has not yet seen a hello message from the active router. In this state, the router waits to hear from the active router. |
|
Listen |
The router knows the virtual IP address, but the router is neither the active router nor the standby router. It listens for hello messages from those routers. |
|
Speak |
The router sends periodic hello messages and actively participates in the election of the active and/or standby router. |
|
Standby |
The router is a candidate to become the next active router and sends periodic hello messages. |
