Description
Forces the master virtual router group into backup mode. This is generally
used for passing master control back to a preferred switch once the preferred
switch has been returned to service after a failure. When this command is
executed, the current master gives up control and initiates a new election by
temporarily advertising its own priority level as 0 (lowest). After the new
election, the virtual router forced into backup mode by this command will
resume master control in the following cases:
This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router
and its IP interface are the same)
This switch's virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is
enabled.
There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.
