Description

Use this command to configure the advertisement interval of the master VRRP router. This interval
is the length of time, in seconds, between each advertisement sent from the master to its backup
VRRP routers. The advertisement notifies the backup routers that the master is still active. If the
backup routers do not receive an advertisement from the master in a designated amount of time,
the backup with the highest priority can assume the role of master.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be used for either VRRP or VRRP-E.

Examples

To set the advertisement interval to 30 seconds for VRRP-E group 10:

switch(config)# rbridge-id 101

switch(config-rbridge-id-101)# int ve 25

switch(config-ve-25)# vrrp-extended-group 10

switch(config-vrrp-extended-group-10)# advertisement-interval 30
