configure vrrp vlan vrid dont-preempt

configure vrrp vlan vlan_name vrid vridval dont-preempt

Description

Specifies that a higher priority backup router does not preempt a lower priority master.

Syntax Description

vlan_name

Specifies the name of a VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) VLAN (Virtual LAN).

vridval

Specifies the VRID of a VRRP instance. To display the configured VRRP router instances, enter the show vrrp command.

Default

The default setting is preempt.

Usage Guidelines

The preempt mode controls whether a higher priority backup router preempts a lower priority master. dont-preempt prohibits preemption. The router that owns the virtual IP address always preempts, independent of the setting of this parameter.

Example

The following command disallows preemption:

configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 dont-preempt
