Configure the Advertisement Interval for the VRRP Master Router

By default, the master router sends VRRP advertisement packets every second to all members of the VRRP group. These packets indicate that the master router is still operational. If the master router fails or becomes unreachable, the backup router with the highest priority value becomes the new master router.

To modify the time between the sending of VRRP advertisement packets, include the advertise-interval statement:

advertise-interval seconds; 

You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address vrrp-group group-number]
• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address vrrp-group group-number]

The interval can range from 1 through 255 seconds. The interval must be the same for all routers in the VRRP group.
