Command Mode
Interface (VLAN)
Command Usage
• If preempt is enabled, and this router has a priority higher than the
current acting master, it will take over as the new master. If preempt is
not enabled, this router will only take over if it has the highest priority
in the group and the current master stops sending hello messages or
sends other messages indicating that it is no longer acting as the
designated router.
• The delay can give additional time to receive an advertisement message
from the current master before taking control. If the router attempting
to become the master has just come on line, this delay also gives it time
to gather information for its routing table before actually preempting
the currently active router.
