{
If the virtual IP address of the VRRP group is associated with a virtual MAC address, the sender
MAC address in the gratuitous ARP packet is the virtual MAC address of the virtual router.
{
If the virtual IP address of the VRRP group is associated with the real MAC address of an
interface, the sender MAC address in the gratuitous ARP packet is the MAC address of the
interface on the master router in the VRRP group.
Configuration procedure
The following conditions apply to the gratuitous ARP configuration:
You can enable periodic sending of gratuitous ARP packets on up to 1024 interfaces.
Periodic sending of gratuitous ARP packets takes effect only when the link of the enabled interface
goes up and an IP address has been assigned to the interface.
If you change the interval for sending gratuitous ARP packets, the configuration is effective at the
next sending interval.
The frequency of sending gratuitous ARP packets might be much lower than the sending interval set
by the user in any of the following circumstances:
{
This function is enabled on multiple interfaces.
{
Each interface is configured with multiple secondary IP addresses.
{
A small sending interval is configured when the previous two conditions exist.
