vrrp vrid timer advertise
Use vrrp vrid timer advertise to configure the interval at which the master in an IPv4 VRRP group sends VRRP advertisements.
Use undo vrrp vrid timer advertise to restore the default.
Syntax
vrrp vrid virtual-router-id timer advertise adver-interval
undo vrrp vrid virtual-router-id timer advertise

Parameters
virtual-router-id: Specifies an IPv4 VRRP group by its virtual router ID in the range of 1 to 255.
adver-interval: Specifies an interval for the master in the specified IPv4 VRRP group to send VRRP advertisements. The value range for this argument is 10 to 4095 centiseconds. For VRRPv2, the value of the adver-interval argument can only be a multiple of 100. For example, if you configure values in the range of 10 to 100, 101 to 200, and 4001 to 4095, the actual values are 100, 200, and 4100, respectively. For VRRPv3, the value of the adver-interval argument that you configured takes effect.
Usage guidelines
The master in an IPv4 VRRP group periodically sends VRRP advertisements to declare its presence. You can use this command to configure the interval at which the master sends VRRP advertisements.
As a best practice, set the VRRP advertisement interval to be greater than 100 centiseconds to maintain system stability.
In VRRPv2, all routers in an IPv4 VRRP group must have the same interval for sending VRRP advertisements.
In VRRPv3, the routers in an IPv4 VRRP group can have different intervals for sending VRRP advertisements. The master in the VRRP group sends VRRP advertisements at the specified interval and carries the interval attribute in the advertisements. After a backup receives the advertisement, it records the interval in the advertisement. If the backup does not receive a new VRRP advertisement from the master when the timer (3 × recorded interval + Skew_Time) expires, it regards the master as failed and takes over as the master.
Large network traffic might disable a backup from receiving VRRP advertisements from the master within the specified time and trigger an unexpected master switchover. To solve this problem, you can use this command to configure a larger interval.
Examples
# Configure the master in IPv4 VRRP group 1 to send VRRP advertisements at an interval of 500 centiseconds.
