What is vrrpInstanceWantedState?

The VRRP state an administrator wants this instance to be in, which can be written to force a manual failover (e.g. forcing a node to backup for planned maintenance). Setting this lets an admin move mastership without touching priorities or restarting keepalived.

Examples

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> KEEPALIVED-MIB::vrrpInstanceWantedState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.6.1
