Setting up Manual Preemption for VLAN Load Balancing

If you do not enter the rep preempt delay seconds interface configuration command on the primary edge
port to configure a preemption time delay, the default is to manually trigger VLAN load balancing on
the segment. Be sure to complete all other segment configuration before manually preempting VLAN
load balancing. When you enter the rep preempt segment segment-id command, a confirmation
message appears before the command is executed because preemption can cause network disruption.
Note Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (EoMPLS) is supported on the Cisco ASR 901 router for
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)SNG and later releases.
Complete these steps on the switch that has the segment primary edge port to manually trigger VLAN
load balancing on a segment:
