ESRP Commands

configure esrp priority

configure esrp <esrpDomain> priority <number>

Configures the ESRP priority.

Syntax Description

The default ESRP priority is 0.

Usage Guidelines

The ESRP priority is one of the factors used by the ESRP election algorithm in determining which

switch is the Master switch.

The range of the priority value is 0 to 254, with 0 being the lowest priority, 254 being the highest. If the

ESRP priority is the determining criteria for the election algorithm, the highest priority value

determines which switch will act as master for a particular ESRP domain.

Setting the priority to 255 configures the switch to slave mode, and to be ineligible to become the

master. The switch will remain in slave mode even when the ESRP domain fails over from the current

master. This feature is typically used to ensure a switch cannot become the ESRP master while it is

offline for servicing.

The following command configures the ESRP priority to the highest priority on ESRP domain

configure esrp esrp1 priority 254
