Determining current VRRP Master router
How can I determine the IP Address of the current master router in a VRRP scenario? This would be the IP Address I could use for SNMP queries to that router. The virtual IP Address can't be used for the SNMP queries. I've read that if I can ping the VRRP's virtual IP address, this is probably the IP Address Owner, and I can use that IP Address for SNMP queries. But if the IP Address Owner is down, how can I figure out which router is the master? It seems all the necessary information is in the VRRP-MIB, but I don't have an IP Address to reach that MIB.
Or is it impossible to determine which router is the current master? I suppose if you had the IP Addresses of all the members of the VRRP you could query the VRRP-MIBs of them to figure out who is the master. But I'm assuming I don't have those IP Addresses.
Thanks for any help solving this problem, bruce
