User Guidelines
Advertisements sent by the primary virtual router communicate the state and
priority of the current primary virtual router. The VRRP timers advertise
command configures the time between successive advertisement packets and
the time before other routers declare the primary router to be down. VRRP
backup routers learn timer values from the primary router advertisements.
The timers configured on the primary router always override any other timer
settings that are used for calculating the primary down time interval on VRRP
backup routers.
Command History
Command introduced in version 6.6 firmware.

The following example shows how to configure the primary virtual router to
send advertisements every 50 centiseconds.
