mastership-priority number ;

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 10.2 for J-EX Series switches.
The mastership priority value is the most important factor in determining the role of the
J-EX4200 member switch within the Virtual Chassis configuration. Other factors (see
"Understanding How the Master in a Virtual Chassis Configuration Is Elected" on page 698)
also affect the election of the master.
The mastership priority value takes the highest precedence in the master election
algorithm. The member switch with highest mastership priority becomes the master of
the Virtual Chassis configuration. Toggling back and forth between master and backup
status in failover conditions is undesirable, so we recommend that you assign the same
mastership priority value to both the master and the backup. Secondary factors in the
master election algorithm determine which of these two members (that is, the two
members that are assigned the highest mastership priority value) functions as the master
of the Virtual Chassis configuration.
