Syntax description string
no description
Context config>vrrp>policy vrrp-policy-id
Description This command creates a text description stored in the configuration file for a configuration context.
The description command associates a text string with a configuration context to help identify the 
content in the configuration file.
The no form of the command removes the string from the configuration.
Default none
Parameters string — The description character string. Allowed values are any string up to 80 characters long 
composed of printable, 7-bit ASCII characters. If the string contains special characters (#, $, 
spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.
policy
Syntax policy policy-id [context service-id]
no policy policy-id
Context config>vrrp
Description This command creates the context to configure a VRRP priority control policy which is used to control 
the VRRP in-use priority based on priority control events. It is a parental node for the various VRRP 
priority control policy commands that define the policy parameters and priority event conditions.
The virtual router instance priority command defines the initial or base value to be used by non-owner 
virtual routers. This value can be modified by assigning a VRRP priority control policy to the virtual 
router instance. The VRRP priority control policy can override or diminish the base priority setting to 
establish the actual in-use priority of the virtual router instance.
The policy policy-id command must be created first, before it can be associated with a virtual router 
instance. 
Because VRRP priority control policies define conditions and events that must be maintained, they can 
be resource intensive. The number of policies is limited to 1000. 
The policy-id do not have to be consecutive integers. The range of available policy identifiers is from 
1 to 9999. 
The no form of the command deletes the specific policy-id from the system. 
The policy-id must be removed first from all virtual router instances before the no policy command 
can be issued. If the policy-id is associated with a virtual router instance, the command will fail.
Default none
