Standby Preempt - SMC Networks SMC8612XL3 F 1.0.1.3 Management Manual

become the active master router again if the configured priorities have
not been changed.
• If two or more routers are configured with the same HSRP priority, the
router with the higher IP address is elected as the new master router if
the current master fails.
• The priority setting takes precedence over authentication. In other
words, if a router with a higher priority than any other router comes on
line, but is not configured with the standby authentication
command, or is configured with the wrong string, it will still take over
as the active master.
• The HSRP priority can change dynamically if an interface is configured
with the standby track command and another interface on the router
fails or comes back on line.
Example
Console(config-if)#standby 1 priority 10
Console(config-if)#
