Priority - Enterasys SecureStack C2 Configuration Manual

Mode
Router configuration: C2(su)‐>router(Config‐router)#
Usage
If the virtual router IP address is the same as the interface (VLAN) address owned by a VRRP
router, then the router owning the address becomes the master. The master sends an
advertisement to all other VRRP routers declaring its status and assumes responsibility for
forwarding packets associated with its virtual router ID (VRID).
If the virtual router IP address is not owned by any of the VRRP routers, then the routers compare
their priorities and the higher priority owner becomes the master. If priority values are the same,
then the VRRP router with the higher IP address is selected master. For details on using the
priority command, refer to "priority" on page 17‐41.
Example
This example shows how to configure a virtual router address of 182.127.62.1 on the VLAN 1
interface, VRID 1, and to set the router connected to the VLAN via this interface as the master:
C2(su)->router(Config)#router vrrp
C2(su)->router(Config-router)#address vlan 1 1 182.127.62.1 1

priority

Use this command to set a priority value for a VRRP router. The no form of this command clears
the VRRP priority configuration.
Syntax
priority vlan vlan-id vrid priority-value
no priority vlan vlan-id vrid priority-value
Parameters
vlan vlan‐id
vrid
priority‐value
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router configuration: C2(su)‐>router(Config‐router)#
Specifies the number of the VLAN on which to configure VRRP priority.
This VLAN must be configured for IP routing as described in "Pre‐Routing
Configuration Tasks" on page 15‐1.
Specifies a unique Virtual Router ID (VRID) associated with the routing
interface. Valid values are from 1 to 255.
Specifies the VRRP priority value to associate with the vrid. Valid values are
from 1 to 254, with the highest value setting the highest priority. Priority
value of 255 is reserved for the VRRP router that owns the IP address
associated with the virtual router. Priority 0 is reserved for signaling that
the master has stopped working and the backup router must transition to
master state.
