decreases based on the dynamics of the network, the advertisement intervals may increase or decrease
accordingly.
CAUTION: Increasing the advertisement interval increases the VRRP Master dead interval,
resulting in an increased failover time for Master/Backup election. Take caution when increasing
the advertisement interval, as the increased dead interval may cause packets to be dropped
during that switch-over time.
