+.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync purge-timeout <timeout>
+
+ Timeout (in seconds) for purging synchronized entries on handover events.
+
+ On handover, ``conntrackd -t`` is invoked, which schedules a conntrack table
+ flush after ``<timeout>`` seconds to purge stale (“zombie”) entries and
+ reduce clashes when multiple handovers occur in a short period.
+ The default is 60 seconds.
+
+.. note:: In VRRP stateful firewall deployments, align VRRP timing with this
+ behavior: because synchronized conntrack state is purged after the purge
+ timeout, set **VRRP preempt-delay** to ≥ **purge-timeout** so mastership
+ can be restored before conntrack state is purged.
