vrrp preempt-delay

Sets the amount of time that will expire before this VRRP instance takes control from the current master when preemption is enable.

Syntax

vrrp preempt-delay vrid delay
no vrrp preempt-delay vrid delay

Parameters

vrid Specifies the VRRP instance to which the delay will be applied.
delay Specifies the delay in seconds before this VRID takes control from the current master. Valid Values: 1 - 900 seconds.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Interface configuration mode.

Usage

The router that owns the virtual router IP address always preempts other routers, regardless of this setting.

When preempt mode is enabled this specifies a delay (in seconds) that a higher priority backup router must wait to preempt a lower priority master. For more information on setting preempt status, refer back to vrrp preempt. For more information on setting VRRP priority, refer back to vrrp priority.

The “no” form of this command clears the preempt delay timer.

Example

This example sets the preempt-delay timer to 60 seconds for VRRP instance 1:

System(rw)->
System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->interface vlan 20
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->vrrp preempt-delay 1 60
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->
