Usage Guidelines Specifying a minimum delay allows routing tables to be updated before a router becomes active. When
a router first comes up, it does not have a complete routing table. A high-priority router will only delay
preemption if it first receives a hello packet from a low-priority active router. If the high-priority router
does not receive a hello packet from the low-priority active router when it is starting up, it assumes there
is no active router for the group and becomes active as soon as possible.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure a delay when a router becomes active when its priority is 110:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
switch(config-if)# no switchport
switch(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
switch(config-if)# hsrp 4
switch(config-if-hsrp)# priority 110
switch(config-if-hsrp)# preempt
switch(config-if-hsrp)# authentication text sanjose

(Optional) Specifies the minimum number of seconds that preemption is
delayed to allow routing tables to be updated before a router becomes
active. The default value is 0.
(Optional) Specifies the time delay after the router has reloaded. This period
applies only to the first interface-up event after the router has reloaded. The
default value is 0.
(Optional) Specifies the maximum number of seconds to allow IP
redundancy clients to prevent preemption. When this period expires,
preemption occurs regardless of the state of the IP redundancy clients. The
default value is 0.
