15.2.8 Setting the automatic switch-back suppression time

Set the length of time before the processing for a switchover of a backup virtual router with a higher priority to the master automatically starts after recovery from a fault, following the occurrence of a fault on the master virtual router and a switchover to a backup. The default automatic switch-back suppression time is 0 seconds, which means automatic switch-back is not suppressed.

Points to note

Specify the automatic switch-back suppression time for the master virtual router that is not the IP address owner.
