Configuring HSRP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use one or more of these steps to configure HSRP priority
characteristics on an interface:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
no shutdown
Step 4
standby [group-number] priority
priority [preempt [delay delay]]

When setting the priority, preempt, or both, you must specify at least one keyword (priority,
preempt, or both).
The priority of the device can change dynamically if an interface is configured with the standby
track command and another interface on the router goes down.
The standby track interface configuration command ties the router hot standby priority to the
availability of its interfaces and is useful for tracking interfaces that are not configured for HSRP.
When a tracked interface fails, the hot standby priority on the device on which tracking has been
configured decreases by 10. If an interface is not tracked, its state changes do not affect the hot
standby priority of the configured device. For each interface configured for hot standby, you can
configure a separate list of interfaces to be tracked.
The standby track interface-priority interface configuration command specifies how much to
decrement the hot standby priority when a tracked interface goes down. When the interface comes
back up, the priority is incremented by the same amount.
When multiple tracked interfaces are down and interface-priority values have been configured, the
configured priority decrements are cumulative. If tracked interfaces that were not configured with
priority values fail, the default decrement is 10, and it is noncumulative.
When routing is first enabled for the interface, it does not have a complete routing table. If it is
configured to preempt, it becomes the active router, even though it is unable to provide adequate
routing services. To solve this problem, configure a delay time to allow the router to update its
routing table.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the HSRP interface on which you
want to set priority.
Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs and ENIs are disabled, and
NNIs are enabled.
Set a priority value used in choosing the active router. The range is 1 to 255;
the default priority is 100. The highest number represents the highest priority.
(Optional) group-number—The group number to which the command
applies.
(Optional) preempt—Select so that when the local router has a higher
priority than the active router, it assumes control as the active router.
(Optional) delay—Set to cause the local router to postpone taking over the
active role for the shown number of seconds. The range is 0 to
3600(1 hour); the default is 0 (no delay before taking over).
Use the no form of the command to restore the default values.
