vrrp priority
To set the priority of the virtual router, use the vrrp priority command in VRRP
interface configuration mode.
To restore the default priority value of the virtual router, use the no form of this
command.
vrrp VRID priority PRIORITY
no vrrp VRID priority
Default Priority: 100
Command Mode Interface configuration
Usage Guideline Use this command to control which router becomes the master router. This
command is ignored while the router is the virtual IP address owner.
The router with the highest priority will become the master, and other routers with
lower priority will then become the backups for the virtual router. Each router
should be configured with different priority values. If there is more than one router
accidently configured to have the same highest priority, then one of them will
become the master which depends on which one of them sends the
advertisement packet out first. If the advertisement packets are sent out at the
same time, the primary IP address (see Note 1) will be compared. The router
with greater primary IP address becomes the master.
Note 1: the primary IP address is the interface IP address that is configured by
the command "ip address” on page 226.
Examples The following example shows how to configure the router with a priority of 200.
