Setting the Advertisement Interval

The VRRP Master router sends periodic advertisement messages to let the
other routers know that the Master is up and running. In other words, VRRP
routers learn timer settings from each other, not from their configuration file
settings. By default, advertisement messages are sent once per second. To
change the VRRP advertisement interval, enter the following command in
Configuration mode:
To set the advertisement interval to 3 seconds:
ProCurve(config-interface-vlan15)#vrrp 1 timers advertise 3
