vrrp preempt

Enables the VRRP instance to preempt a current master.

Syntax

vrrp preempt vrid
no vrrp preempt vrid

Parameters

vrid Specifies the VRRP instance that will be allowed to preempt the current master.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Interface configuration mode.

Usage

The router that owns the virtual router IP address always preempts other routers, regardless of this setting.

Preempt is enabled on VRRP routers by default, which allows a higher priority backup router to preempt a lower priority master.

The “no” form of this command disables preempt mode.

Example

This example enables VRRP instance 1 to preempt the current master:

System(rw)->
System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->interface vlan 20
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->vrrp preempt 1
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->
