eth vrrp set priority

Specifies the priority attribute in a VRRP attribute record for the VRID (virtual router
ID). The priority value determines which VRRP router in the LAN takes over when a
VRRP router fails. For more information, see
Technical Reference Guide.
NOTE:
If you do not specify a priority value for a VRRP attribute record, the default priority,
100, is used.
The priority for the master router must be the maximum, 255; the priority for each
backup router must be less than 255.
The priority values must differ for each router that uses the same VRID. For example,
the master router for VRID 7 must have priority 255 while the first backup router for
VRID 7 could have the default priority 100 and a second backup router for VRID 7
could have priority 50.
NOTE:
This command takes effect immediately, but you must save the change if it is to
persist after you restart the interface or reboot the router.
