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 “VRRP Backup” on page 6-16of the 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.

Mgmt Class

Input Format

eth vrrp set priority <priority> <vrid> [<port#>]

Parameters

<priority>a Priority value. The priority for the master router must be 255; the priority for each backup router must be less than 255.

<vrid>a	Virtual router ID of the VRRP attribute record (integer, 1-255). The
	attribute record was created by the command eth vrrp add
<port#>b	Physical Ethernet interface (port) number (0 or 1).

aInteger, 1 - 255

bThe default is 0; the parameter may be omitted if the router has only one port.
