Disabling Preempt
The preempt command is enabled by default. The command forces the system to change the MASTER router if another router with a
higher priority comes online.
Prevent the BACKUP router with the higher priority from becoming the MASTER router by disabling preempt.
NOTE
: You must congure all virtual routers in the VRRP group the same: you must congure all with preempt enabled or
congure all with preempt disabled.
Because preempt is enabled by default, disable the preempt function with the following command.
• Prevent any BACKUP router with a higher priority from becoming the MASTER router.
INTERFACE-VRID mode
no preempt
Examples of Disabling Preempt
Re-enable preempt by entering the preempt command. When you enable preempt, it does not display in the show commands, because it
is a default setting.
The following example shows how to disable preempt using the no preempt command.
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#vrrp-group 111
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)#no preempt
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)#
The following example shows how to verify preempt is disabled using the show conf command.
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1-vrid-111)#show conf
