The set protocols vrrp interface vrid interval command sets the interval at which the VRRP device sends VRRP advertisement packets.

NOTE:

This command applies to both VRRPv2 and VRRPv3 configuration.

Command Syntax

set protocols vrrp interface <interface-name> vrid <virtual-router-id> interval <interval-value>

Parameter

Parameter	Description
interface <interface-name>	Specifies the Layer 3 interface name of VRRP device. The value could be the VLAN interface name, the routed interface or the sub-interface name. The value is a string.
vrid <virtual-router-id>	Specifies the VRID of a VRRP group. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 254.
interval <interval-value>	Specifies the interval at which the VRRP device sends VRRP advertisement packets. The value is an integer, in seconds. For VRRPv2, the value ranges from 1 to 255. For VRRPv3, the value ranges from 1 to 40. The default value is 4 seconds for both VRRPv2 and VRRPv3.

Usage Guidelines

If a larger interval is used, a backup device in the same VRRP group will not be able to detect the fault on the master in a timely fashion and can potentially cause packet loss. If a smaller interval is used, system resources are occupied. It is therefore recommended to set the interval based on actual network performance.

NOTE:

The configurations of the interval of sending VRRP advertisement packets on both devices of VRRP group must be the same.

Example

Set the interval of sending VRRP advertisement to 5 seconds.
