Modifying the Preemption Hold-Time Value
The hold time is the maximum number of seconds that can elapse before a higher-priority backup router preempts the master router. You might want to configure a hold time so that all Junos OS components converge before preemption.
By default, the hold-time value is 0 seconds. A value of 0 means that preemption can occur immediately after the backup router comes online.
![]() | Note: The hold time is counted from the time the backup router comes online. The hold time is only valid when the VRRP router is just coming online. |
To modify the preemption hold-time value, include the hold-time statement:
The hold time can be from 0 through 3600 seconds.
You can include this statement at the following hierarchy level:
- [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family inet address address vrrp-group group-id preempt]
