Usage Guidelines The router in the HSRP group with the highest priority value becomes the active router.

When you use group number 0, no group number is written to NVRAM, providing backward compatibility.

The assigned priority is used to help select the active and standby routers. Assuming that preemption is enabled, the router with the highest priority becomes the designated active router. In case of ties, the primary IP addresses are compared, and the higher IP address has priority.

The priority of the device can change dynamically if an interface is configured with the standby track command and another interface on the router goes down.
