Preempt Mode; Vrrp Status - ZyXEL Communications MS-7206 - EDITION 1 Manual

38.1.1.3 Preempt Mode

If the master router is unavailable, a backup router assumes the role of the
master router. However, when another backup router with a higher priority joins
the network, it will preempt the lower priority backup router that is the master.
Disable preempt mode to prevent this from happening.
By default, a layer 3 device with the same IP address as the virtual router will
become the master router regardless of the preempt mode.
