cnfpnni-election
Configure PNNI Election—configure a rank and other parameters for electing a peer group leader.
The cnfpnni-election command lets you specify the priority of a node for the purpose of electing a peer
group leader (PGL). By using this ranking, you can promote or prevent certain nodes for consideration
for election as PGL.
For a single-peer group, this command has no application.

every level of the hierarchy. (For example, if three levels exist, three PGL elections occur.) To ensure
that a node cannot win the PGL election, you can assign 0 for the priority.

In addition to the priority, cnfpnni-election lets you specify the:
