Recently I had to replace a failing 1760 router, with new 1941 that has IOS 15. The 1941 is having an issue with vrrp that I cannot resolve. It is not running at the right priority but in the "down" state. It is communicating with the 2nd router, which is in "backup" state. But I have had to lower the priority on the 2nd router (870 with 12.4(24)T) to force this one to Master, which is the preferred state.
#sh vrrp
GigabitEthernet0/0.1 - Group 1
State is Master
Virtual IP address is 10.7.0.1
Virtual MAC address is 0000.5e00.0101
Advertisement interval is 1.000 sec
Preemption enabled, delay min 120 secs
Priority is 95 (cfgd 105)
Authentication MD5, key-string
Master Router is 10.7.0.2 (local), priority is 95
Master Advertisement interval is 1.000 sec
Master Down interval is 3.628 sec
Config:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.1
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
ip address 10.7.0.2 255.255.255.0
vrrp 1 ip 10.7.0.1
vrrp 1 preempt delay minimum 120
vrrp 1 priority 105
vrrp 1 authentication md5 key-string 7 [removed]
How do I determine why this router is not at the right priority? I don't see anything obvious in the vrrp debug logs.
