Command

Description

 

 

back <1-255>

Forces the specified master virtual router on this switch into backup mode.

 

This is generally used for passing master control back to a preferred switch

 

once the preferred switch has been returned to service after a failure. When

 

this command is executed, the current master gives up control and initiates a

 

new election by temporarily advertising its own priority level as 0 (lowest).

 

After the new election, the virtual router forced into backup mode by this

 

command will resume master control in the following cases:

 

This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router

 

and its IP interface are the same)

 

This switch’s virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is

 

enabled.

 

There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.
