Assigning a Priority to the Standby FT Group Member

Tip
OL-11157-01
To configure the priority of an FT group on the active member, use the priority
command in FT group configuration mode. You must configure the priority of an
FT group on both appliances. Configure a higher priority for the group on the
ACE where you want the active member to initially reside. The syntax of this
command is:
priority number
The number argument specifies the priority of the FT group on the local peer.
Enter an integer from 1 to 255. The default is 100.
Configure a higher priority on the FT group member that you want to be the active
member.
For example, to configure the priority of the FT group on the active member,
enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# priority 150
To restore the default priority of 100, enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-group)# no priority
To configure the priority of an FT group on the remote standby member, use the
peer priority command in FT group configuration mode. You must configure the
priority of an FT group on both redundant appliances. Configure a lower priority
for the FT group on the ACE where you want the standby member to initially
reside. The syntax of this command is:
peer priority number
The number argument specifies the priority of the FT group on the standby
member. Enter an integer from 1 to 255. The default is 100.
Configure a lower priority on the FT group member that you want to be the
standby member.
