IP Addressing and Protocol Commands

ip irdp address preference

When multiple routers connected to a LAN are all sending Router Discovery advertisements,
hosts need to be able to choose the best router to use. Therefore the IRDP defines a
preference value to place in the Router Discovery advertisements. Hosts choose the router
with the highest preference value.
This command sets the preference value to include in Router Discovery advertisements sent
for the specified IP address.
The no form sets the preference for a specific address to the default of 0.
