Priority - Enterasys G3G170-24 Cli Reference Manual

owner
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router configuration: G3(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 16‐41.
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:
G3(su)->router(Config)#router vrrp
G3(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.
