Default 1 second or 100 centisecs
Command Mode INTERFACE-VRRP
Usage
Information
Dell EMC recommends keeping the default setting for this command. If you change the time interval
between VRRP advertisements on one router, change it on all routers. The no version of this command
sets the VRRP advertisements timer interval back to its default value, 1 second or 100 centisecs.
Example
OS10(conf-eth1/1/6-vrid-250)# advertise-interval 120 centisecs 100
Supported

Usage
Information
With authentication enabled, OS10 ensures that only trusted routers participate in routing in an
autonomous network. The no version of this command disables authentication of VRRP data exchanges.
Example

Supported
Releases

preempt
Permits or preempts a backup router with a higher priority value to become the master router.
Syntax
preempt
Parameters None
Default Enabled
Command Mode INTERFACE-VRRP
Usage
Information
VRRP uses preempt to determine what happens after a VRRP backup router becomes the master. With
preempt enabled by default, VRRP switches to a backup if that backup router comes online with a priority
higher than the new master router. If you disable preempt, VRRP switches only if the master fails. The no
version of this command disables preemption.
Example
OS10(conf-eth1/1/5-vrid-254)# preempt
Supported
Releases
10.2.0E or later
priority
Assigns a VRRP priority value for the VRRP group. The VRRP uses this value during the master election process.
Syntax
priority number
Parameters number — Enter a priority value, from 1 to 254.
