Tracing VRRP Operations
To trace VRRP operations, include the traceoptions statement at the [edit protocols vrrp] hierarchy level.
By default, VRRP logs the error, data carrier detect (DCD) configuration, and routing socket events in a file in the /var/log directory. By default, this file is named /var/log/vrrpd. The default file size is 1 megabyte (MB), and three files are created before the first one gets overwritten.
To change the configuration of the logging file, include
the traceoptions statement at the [edit protocols
vrrp] hierarchy level:
[edit protocols vrrp] traceoptions { file filename <files number> <match regular-expression> <microsecond-stamp> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>; flag flag; no-remote-trace; } flag flag;
You can specify the following VRRP tracing flags:
all—Trace all VRRP operations.
database—Trace all database changes.
general—Trace all general events.
interfaces—Trace all interface changes.
normal—Trace all normal events.
packets—Trace all packets sent and received.
state—Trace all state transitions.
timer—Trace all timer events.
