Command
back <1-255>
back - Set virtual router to backup
Description
Forces the specified master virtual router on this switch into backup mode. This is
generally used for passing master control back to a preferred switch once the
preferred switch has been returned to service after a failure. When this command
is executed, the current master gives up control and initiates a new election by
temporarily advertising its own priority level as 0 (lowest). After the new election,
the virtual router forced into backup mode by this command will resume master
control in the following cases:
This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router and its
IP interface are the same)
This switch's virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is enabled.
There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.
