Example

The following configures VLAN 15 virtual router to learn the advertisement

interval used by the master virtual router.

console(config-if-vlan15)#vrrp 5 timers learn

vrrp track interface

Use the vrrp track interface command in Interface Configuration mode to

alter the priority of the VRRP router based on the availability of its interfaces.

It is useful for tracking interfaces that are not configured for VRRP. Only

routing interfaces may be tracked. A tracked interface is up if routing on that

interface is up. Otherwise, the tracked interface is down.
When the tracked interface is down, or the interface has been removed from

the router, the priority of the VRRP router will be decremented by the value

specified in the priority argument. When the interface is up for the IP

protocol, the priority will be incremented by the priority value.
A VRRP configured interface can track more than one interface. When a

tracked interface goes down, then the priority of the router will be decreased

by 10 (default priority decrement) for each downed interface. The default

priority decrement is changed using the priority argument. The default

priority of the virtual router is 100, and the default decrement priority is 10.

By default, no interfaces are tracked. If you specify, just the interface to be

tracked without giving the priority, which is optional, then the default priority

will be set.
Use the no form of this command to remove the interface from the tracked

list or to restore the priority decrement to its default. When removing an

interface from the tracked list, the priority is incremented by the decrement

value if that interface is down.
