Setting Vrrp Startup Delay; Configuring Collective Management Functionality - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9900 Series Network Configuration Manual

Configuring VRRP
To disable VRRP traps, use the no form of the vrrp trap or vrrp3 trap command option. For example:
-> no vrrp trap
-> no vrrp3 trap
To re-enable traps, enter the vrrp trap or vrrp3 trap command.
-> vrrp trap
-> vrrp3 trap

Setting VRRP Startup Delay

After a switch reboot, the global delay value takes effect and all virtual routers (VRRPv2 and VRRPv3)
remain in the initialize state. They will remain in this state until the timer expires, at which point they will
negotiate to determine whether to become the master or a backup.
To set a delay to keep all virtual routers from going active before their routing tables are set up, use the
vrrp delay command. This command applies only when the switch reboots.
-> vrrp delay 75
The switch now waits 75 seconds after its reboot before it becomes available to take over as master for
another router.
Note. This command applies only when the switch reboots.

Configuring Collective Management Functionality

Collective management simplifies the management and configuration tasks of either all the virtual routers
on the switch or only the virtual routers in a particular virtual router group.
Note. Only VRRPv2 supports the collective management functionality; VRRPv3 does not support
collective management in this release.
The following section describes the above mentioned collective management functionality in detail:
Changing Default Parameter Values for all Virtual Routers
You can change the default advertising interval value of all the virtual routers on a switch using the
interval command. For example:
-> vrrp interval 50
You can change the default priority value of all the virtual routers on a switch using the
command. For example:
-> vrrp priority 50
You can change the default preempt mode of all the virtual routers on a switch using the
command. For example:
-> vrrp no preempt
These commands will set the new default values only for the virtual routers that are newly created.
However, you can apply the new default value to the existing virtual routers. To apply the new default
