| vlan_name |
Specifies the name of a VRRP VLAN. |
| vridval |

The default setting is preempt.
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.
The following command disallows preemption:
configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 dont-preempt
