| adver-interval | Specifies the interval for sending VRRP6 advertisement packets on the active device in a VRRP6 backup group. | The value is an integer ranging from 100 to 4095, in centiseconds. By default, the interval is 4000 centiseconds, namely, 40 seconds. |
The active device in a VRRP6 backup group periodically sends VRRP6 packets to the standby device to notify the standby device that it is working properly. If the standby device does not receive VRRP6 packets from the active device within a given time range (usually three times the interval at which the active device sends VRRP6 packets), the standby device may consider the VRRP6 link between itself and the active device as abnormal and generates a log (HRPI/4/VRRP_PEER_DOWN) to notify the user that the VRRP6 link is abnormal.
If the network traffic is heavy, the standby device may time out in receiving VRRP6 packets, causing the VRRP6 status to be abnormal. You can resolve this issue by prolonging the interval at which the active device sends VRRP6 packets.
