Parameter 
virtual-router-ID: VRRP virtual router ID, ranging from 1 to 255. 
delay-value: Delay in seconds, ranging from 0 to 255. 
Description 
Use the vrrp vrid preempt-mode command to configure the preemption and delay of 
the virtual router. 
Use the undo vrrp vrid preempt-mode command to cancel the preemption. 
By default, virtual router is in preempt mode and delay-value is 0 second. 
If a higher-priority switch is required to preempt the Master, you need to configure it as 
preemption. You can also set a delay for the preemption. If you configure it not to 
preempt, the delay will be set to 0 automatically. 
Example 
# Configure the switch to preempt. 
[Quidway-vlan-interface2] vrrp vrid 1 preempt-mode 
# Set a delay. 
[Quidway-vlan-interface2] vrrp vrid 1 preempt-mode timer delay 5 
# Configure the switch not to preempt. 
[Quidway-vlan-interface2] undo vrrp vrid 1 preempt-mode
