If a time is configured here, the virtual router changes to the "Hold-Down" state as soon as the monitored WAN connection is terminated with an error and the backup delay expires (i.e. switches to backup state). In the "Hold-Down" state, the monitored WAN connection can no longer be established. Also, no further VRRP advertisements will be sent.
As soon as the "Master-Holddown-Time" expires, the virtual router transitions to the "Standby" state, in which the monitored WAN connection can be reestablished.
The "Master-Holddown-Time" is a string with a maximum of 6 characters, which can include the digits 0-9 and a colon. This allows times of up to 999 minutes 59 seconds (999:59) to be entered.
If there is no colon (e.g. "30") then the specification is interpreted as minutes. In this case the maximum is "999".
If a colon is present, the colon must be followed by two characters which are interpreted as seconds. The maximum possible value here is "59".
Correct time specifications are, for example "5" (5 minutes), "5:30" (5 minutes, 30 seconds) or "0:30" (30 seconds).
A value of "0" or "0:00" disables the Master-Holddown.
