Chapter 3 Commands Specific to the Content Switching Module with SSL

standby preempt

standby preempt

To configure HSRP preemption and preemption delay, use the standby preempt command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default values.

standby [group-number]preempt [delay{minimum delay reload delay sync delay}] no standby [group-number]preempt [delay{minimum delay reload delay sync delay}]

Syntax Description

 

group-number

(Optional) Group number on the interface to which the other arguments in

 

 

 

this command apply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

delay

(Optional) Required if either the minimum, reload, or sync keywords are

 

 

 

specified.

 

 

 

 

 

 

minimum delay

(Optional) Specifies the minimum delay in delay seconds; valid values are

 

 

 

from 0 to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

 

 

 

 

 

 

reload delay

(Optional) Specifies the preemption delay after a reload only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

sync delay

(Optional) Specifies the maximum synchronization period in delay seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Defaults

 

The defaults are as follows:

group-number is 0.

delay is 0 seconds; the router preempts immediately. By default, the router that comes up later becomes the standby router.

Usage Guidelines

 

The delay argument causes the local router to postpone taking over the active role for delay (minimum)

 

 

seconds since that router was last restarted.

When you use this command, the router is configured to preempt, which means that when the local router has a hot standby priority that is higher than the current active router, the local router should attempt to assume control as the active router. If you do not configure preemption, the local router assumes control as the active router only if it receives information indicating no router is in the active state (acting as the designated router).

When a router first comes up, it does not have a complete routing table. If you configure the router to preempt, it becomes the active router, but it cannot provide adequate routing services. You can configure a delay before the preempting router actually preempts the currently active router.
