ip vrrp vrid priority priorityValue
no ip vrrp vrid priority
Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.
Configures the priority of VRRP routers. The no version restores the default value, 100.
NOTE: If you configure VRRP on a virtual router and associate the IP address with the
VRRP instance ID (VRID) so that the virtual address becomes the interface address of
the router, the priority of the router automatically changes to 255 making it the master
router. This change of priority occurs in JunosE Software Releases 11.0.0 and
higher-numbered releases and later to enable full compliance with RFC-Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) (April 2004).
Also, you cannot configure the priority of the VRRP router as 255 by using the ip vrrp
priority command, unless you configured the router to automatically learn associated
addresses by using the auto keyword with the ip vrrp virtual-address command. In
addition, if you change the virtual address of the VRRP router, which is operating as the
IP address owner, to an IP address that is no longer the IP address owner, the priority
changes automatically to the default value of 100.
vrid—VRID identifier; a number in the range 1–255
priorityValue—Priority value of the VRRP router; a number in the range 1–255; default
value is 100
