Parameters

virtual-router-id: Specifies an IPv6 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 IPv6 VRRP group to send VRRP advertisements, in the range of 100 to 4095 centiseconds.

Usage guidelines

The master in an IPv6 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 to maintain system stability, set the VRRP advertisement interval to be greater than 100 centiseconds.

The routers in an IPv6 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 × VRRP advertisement sending 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 IPv6 VRRP group 1 to send VRRP advertisements at an interval of 500 centiseconds.
