Parameters
virtual-router-id: Specifies an IPv6 VRRP group by its virtual router ID in the range of 1 to 255.
delay delay-value: Specifies a preemption delay time in the range of 0 to 255 in seconds. The default
setting is 0 seconds.
Usage guidelines
In non-preemptive mode, when a router in the IPv6 VRRP group becomes the master, it acts as the master
as long as it operates correctly, even if a backup is assigned a higher priority later. The non-preemptive
mode helps avoid frequent switchover between the master and backups.
In preemptive mode, a backup takes over as the master and sends VRRP advertisements when it detects
that it has a higher priority than the master. The previous master then becomes a backup. This mechanism
makes sure the master is always the router with the highest priority.
To avoid frequent state changes among members in a VRRP group and to provide the backups enough
time to collect information (such as routing information), a backup does not immediately become the
master after it receives an advertisement with lower priority than the local priority. Instead, it waits for a
period of time before taking over as the master.
Examples
# Enable the preemptive mode for VRRP group 1, and set the preemption delay to 5 seconds.
