The recommendations in Table 58-1 may vary depending on various factors like ARP broadcasts, IP
broadcasts, or STP before changing the advertisement interval. When the number of packets processed by
RP2/CP/FP processor increases or decreases based on the dynamics of the network, the advertisement
intervals in may increase or decrease accordingly.
VRRP version 3
VRRP version 3 defines VRRP for IPv6. The
vrrp-ipv6-group
command is used to create IPv6 VRRP
groups, and is similar to the
vrrp-group
command, which creates an IPv4 VRRP group and moves you from
INTERFACE mode to a group-specific VRRP command sub-mode.
In the VRRP mode, all VRRP commands are supported for IPv4 and IPv6, except for
authentication-type
which is not supported for IPv6. Also, the following EXEC commands are different for IPv4 and IPv6:
• clear :
• IPv4:
clear counters vrrp
• IPv6:
clear counters vrrp ipv6
• debug :
• IPv4:
debug vrrp
• IPv6:
debug vrrp ipv6
• show :
• IPv4:
show vrrp
• IPv6:
show vrrp ipv6
Between 1000 and 1200 7 seconds 7 seconds 7 seconds 512 255 100 100
Between 1200 and 1500 8 seconds 8 seconds 8 seconds 512 255 120 120
Note: 1500 VRRP groups are supported in FTOS Release 6.3.1.0 and later.
CAUTION: Increasing the advertisement interval increases the VRRP Master dead interval, resulting in an
increased failover time for Master/Backup election. Take extra caution when increasing the advertisement
interval, as the increased dead interval may cause packets to be dropped during that switch-over time.
