vrrp interface-up-delay

Configures a VRID state interface down to interface up transition delay period.

Syntax

vrrp interface-up-delay vrid seconds
no vrrp interface-up-delay vrid

Parameters

vrid Specifies the VRRP instance for this delay setting.
seconds Specifies the number of seconds to set for the transition delay from VRID state interface down to interface up. Valid Values: 0 - 900. Default Value: 0.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Interface configuration mode.

Usage

The interface-up-delay is typically used to delay startup of the VRRP state machines while other protocols are transitioning. For example, you may want to prevent the VRRP state machines from processing a VRRP packet on the network while ports on that interface have not fully transitioned to forwarding from the STP protocol. By setting the interface-up-delay, the user can configure VRRP to start its protocol state machines after the STP protocol has had a chance to transition all forwarding packets.

The “no” form of this command sets the interface-up delay to the default value of 0 seconds.

Example

This example sets the interface-up-delay for VRID 1 on interface VLAN 20 to 10 seconds:

System(rw)->
System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->interface vlan 20
System(rw)-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->vrrp interface-up-delay 1 10
System(rw)-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->
