Examples of Disabling Preempt
Re-enable preempt by entering the preempt command. When you enable preempt, it does not display in the show commands, because it
is a default setting.
The following example shows how to disable preempt using the no preempt command.
The following example shows how to verify preempt is disabled using the show conf command.
Changing the Advertisement Interval
By default, the MASTER router transmits a VRRP advertisement to all members of the VRRP group every one second, indicating it is
operational and is the MASTER router.
If the VRRP group misses three consecutive advertisements, the election process begins and the BACKUP virtual router with the highest
priority transitions to MASTER.
NOTE: To avoid throttling VRRP advertisement packets, Dell EMC Networking OS recommends increasing the VRRP
advertisement interval to a value higher than the default value of one second. If you do change the time interval between VRRP
advertisements on one router, change it on all participating routers.
If are using VRRP version 2, you must congure the timer values in multiple of whole seconds. For example a timer value of 3 seconds or
300 centisecs are valid and equivalent. However, a time value of 50 centisecs is invalid because it not a multiple of 1 second. If you are
using VRRP version 3, you must congure the timer values in multiples of 25 centisecs.
If you are congured for VRRP version 2, the timer values must be in multiples of whole seconds. For example, timer value of 3 seconds or
300 centisecs are valid and equivalent. However, a timer value of 50 centisecs is invalid because it not is not multiple of 1 second.
If are using VRRP version 3, you must congure the timer values in multiples of 25 centisecs.
To change the advertisement interval in seconds or centisecs, use the following command. A centisecs is 1/100 of a second.
• Change the advertisement interval setting.
INTERFACE-VRID mode
advertise-interval seconds
The range is from 1 to 255 seconds.
The default is 1 second.
• For VRRPv3, change the advertisement centisecs interval setting.
INTERFACE-VRID mode
advertise-interval centisecs centisecs
The range is from 25 to 4075 centisecs in units of 25 centisecs.
The default is 100 centisecs.
Examples of the advertise-interval Command
The following example shows how to change the advertise interval using the advertise-interval command.
The following example shows how to verify the advertise interval change using the show conf command.
