VRRP 
7705 SAR OS Router Configuration Guide 255
The no form of the command reverts to the default value of 3. Three consecutive ICMP echo request 
failures are required before the host unreachable priority control event is set.
Default 3
Parameters consecutive-failures — specifies the number of ICMP echo request message attempts that must 
fail for the event to enter the set state. The consecutive-failures parameter defines the 
threshold so a lower consecutive number of failures can clear the event state.
Values 1 to 60
interval
Syntax interval seconds
no interval
Context config>vrrp>policy>priority-event>host-unreachable
Description This command configures the number of seconds between host unreachable priority event ICMP echo 
request messages directed to the host IP address.
The no form of this command reverts to the default value.
Default 1 
Parameters seconds — specifies the amount of time between the ICMP echo request messages sent to the host 
IP address for the host unreachable priority event
Values 1 to 60
timeout
Syntax timeout seconds
no timeout
Context config>vrrp>policy>priority-event>host-unreachable
Description This command defines the time, in seconds, that must pass before considering the far-end IP host 
unresponsive to an outstanding ICMP echo request message.
The timeout value is not directly related to the configured interval parameter. The timeout value can 
be larger, equal, or smaller, relative to the interval value. If the timeout value is larger than the interval 
value, multiple ICMP echo request messages can be outstanding. Every ICMP echo request message 
transmitted to the far-end host is tracked individually according to the message identifier and sequence 
number.
