Command Syntax and Usage
router vrrp backup {<virtual router number (1‐128)>|group}
Forces the specified master virtual router on this switch 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.
