router-preference [high|medium|low]

Parameters

router-preference [high|medium|low]
router-preference [high|medium|low] Sets this router‘s preference over other routers, in the link, to be the default router. The options are high, low, and medium. The default value is medium.
The following points should be taken into consideration when configuring router preference:
  • For a router to be selected as a default router, the router‘s lifetime should not be equal to “0”.
  • To enable default router selection, using router information contained in RAs, configure default router selection on that interface.
