role priority

This command configures VPC switch priority. This value is used for VPC role election. The
priority value is sent to the peer in the VPC keepalive messages. The VPC switch with lower
priority becomes the Primary and the switch with higher priority becomes the Secondary. If
both VPC peer switches have the same role priority, the device with the lower system MAC
address becomes the Primary.
Note: The keepalive state machine is not restarted even if the keepalive
priority is modified post-election.
The priority can be between 1 and 255 seconds. The default is 100.
