| Description | Information about an HSRP group. Management applications
use cHsrpGrpRowStatus to control entry modification,
creation and deletion.
Setting cHsrpGrpRowStatus to 'active' causes the router to
communicate using HSRP.
The value of cHsrpGrpRowStatus may be set to 'destroy' at
any time.
Entries may not be created via SNMP without explicitly
setting cHsrpGrpRowStatus to either 'createAndGo' or
'createAndWait'.
Entries can be created and modified via the management
protocol or by the device's local management interface.
A management application wishing to create an entry should
choose the ifIndex of the interface which is to be added
as part of an HSRP group. Also, a cHsrpGrpNumber should
be chosen. A group number is unique only amongst the groups
on a particular interface. The value of the group number
appears in packets which are transmitted and received on a
LAN segment to which the router is connected. The application
must select the group number as explained in the description
for cHsrpGrpNumber.
If the row is not active, and a local management interface
command modifies that row, the row may transition to active
state.
A row which is not in active state will timeout after a
configurable period (five minutes by default). This timeout
period can be changed by setting cHsrpConfigTimeout. |
