Command Usage
• A router that has a physical interface with the same IP address as that
used for the virtual router will become the master virtual router. The
backup router with the highest priority will become the master router
if the current master fails. When the original master router recovers, it
will take over as the active master router again.
• If two or more routers are configured with the same VRRP priorit y, the
router with the higher IP address is elected as the new master router if
the current master fails.
• If the bac kup preempt function is enabled with the vrrp preempt
command, and a backup router with a priority higher than the current
acting master comes on line, this backup router will take over as the
new acting master. However, note that if the original master (i.e., the
owner of the VRRP IP address) comes back on line, it will always
resume control as the master.
