Configures a slow-start timer interval to extend the time interval beyond the dead-interval
time before a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Extended (VRRP-E) master device assumes
the role of master device after being offline. When the original master device went
offline, a backup VRRP-E device with a lower priority became the master device.
Command Default
If a slow-start timer is not configured, the master device assumes control from a
backup device immediately after the dead interval.
Parameters
- seconds
- Sets the number of seconds for the slow-start timer. Range from 1 through 57600.
Modes
VRRP-E router configuration mode
Usage Guidelines
When the VRRP-E slow-start timer is enabled, if the master VRRP-E device goes down,
the backup device with the highest priority takes over after the expiration of the
dead interval. If the original master device subsequently comes back up again, the
amount of time specified by the VRRP-E slow-start timer elapses before the original
master device takes over from the backup device (which became the master device when
the original master device went offline).
This command is supported only for VRRP-E.
The
no form removes the slow-start configuration.
Examples
The following example sets the slow-start timer interval to 40 seconds.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router vrrp-extended
device(config-vrrpe-router)# slow-start 40
