Default VRRP/VRRP-E dead interval calculation
Dead Interval is the number of seconds a Backup waits for a Hello message from the Master before
determining that the Master is dead. When Backups determine that the Master is dead, the Backup
with the highest priority becomes the new Master. The Dead interval can be set from 1 - 84
seconds. The default is internally derived by software.
• It is equal to 3 times the Hello interval + Skew time
• Where Skew time is equal to (256 - priority) divided by 256.
To change the Dead interval on a Backup to 30 seconds for VRRPv2 and VRRP-Ev2, enter the
following commands.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# dead-interval 30
Syntax: [no] dead-interval value
