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

Command introduced in version 6.6 firmware.

send advertisements every 50 centiseconds.
