Item Description
VrId
A number that uniquely identifies a virtual router on a given VRRP router. The virtual router acts as the default router for one or more assigned addresses (1 to 255).
IpAddr
IP address of the virtual router interface.
Control
Whether VRRP is enabled or disabled for the port or VLAN.
Priority

AdvertisementInterval
The time interval (in seconds) between sending advertisement messages. Set from 1 to 255 seconds with a default of 1 second. Only the master router sends advertisements.
CriticalIpAddrEnable
Sets the IP interface on the local router to enable or disable the backup.
CriticalIpAddr
Indicates if a user-defined critical IP address should be enabled. There is no effect if a user-defined IP address does not exist.
  • No--use the default IP address (0.0.0.0)
HoldDownTimer
The time interval (in seconds) a router is delayed when changing to master state.
OperAction
Use the action list to manually override the delay timer and force preemption:
  • preemptHoldDownTimer--preempt the timer
