HSRP State=Virgin

[m.haertl]

In a sniffer file i have following entrys

IP-Adress1-->224.0.0.2-->HSRP: Hello State=Standby

IP-Adress2-->224.0.0.2-->HSRP: Hello State=Active

..

..

IP-Adress1-->224.0.0.2-->HSRP: Unknown State=Virgin

IP-Adress1-->224.0.0.2-->HSRP: Hello State=Standby

IP-Adress2-->224.0.0.2-->HSRP: Hello State=Active

and so on

What means the state virgin???

[Gilles Dufour]

As indicated in the debug, this is unknown state.

You should not see this.

What kind of device is IP-Address1 ???

Is it a Cisco device (I know HSRP is cisco proprietary, but maybe ...)

What type of cisco router ?

what software version ?

Thanks,

Gilles.

It is a cisco device 3640; managed from the German Telekom.

The IOS is 12.2. (10A)

I believe Virgin is the (initial state). A group is in the Virgin (or Initial) state

when either:

1.The interface is down OR

2.The interface IP address is not configured OR

3."standby ip [address]" is not configured OR

4.Router is about to reload
