Priority Specifies the "VRRP" priority value.
The router with the higher priority value takes over the master router role.
If the virtual router IP address is the same as an IP address of a router
interface, then the router is the “owner” of the IP address. If an IP address
owner exists, then the "VRRP" function assigns the IP address owner the
priority value
255
and declares the router as the master router.
Possible values:
1..255
(default setting:
100
)
Disabling or removing an "VRRP" router, which is in the master role,
forces the instance to send an advertisement with priority value
0
. This lets
the other backup routers know that the master is not participating. Sending
a priority value
0
forces a new election.
Preempt mode Activates/deactivates the preempt mode. This setting specifies whether
this router, as a backup router, takes over the master router role when the
master router has a lower VRRP priority.
Possible values:
unmarked
When you disable the "Preempt mode", this router assumes the role
of a backup router and listens for master router advertisements. After
the master down interval expires, without receiving advertisements
from the master router, this router participates in the master router
election process.
marked
(default setting)
When you enable the "Preempt mode", this router takes the master
router role from a router with a lower VRRP priority without waiting for
an election.
Advertisement
Interval [s]
Specifies the interval between master router advertisements in seconds.
Possible values:
1..255
(default setting:
1
)
Note: The longer the advertisement interval, the longer the time for which
backup routers wait for a message from the master router before starting
a new election process (master down interval). Also, specify the same
value on every participant in a given virtual router instance.
