Usage Guidelines The min-delayapplies to all subsequent interface events.

The reload-delayapplies only to the first interface-up event after the router has reloaded.

If the active router fails or you remove it from the network, the standby router automatically becomes the new active router. If the former active router comes back online, you can control whether it takes over as the active router by using the standby preempt command.

However, in some cases, even if you do not use the standby preempt command, the former active router resumes the active role after it reloads and comes back online. Use the standby delay minimum reload command to set a delay for HSRP group initialization. This command allows time for the packets to get through before the router resumes the active role.

We recommend that you use the standby delay minimum reload command if the standby timers command is configured in milliseconds or if HSRP is configured on a VLAN interface of a switch.

In most configurations, the default values provide sufficient time for the packets to get through and configuring longer delay values is not necessary.

The delay is canceled if an HSRP packet is received on an interface.
