vrrp vrid priority

Function

The vrrp vrid priority command sets the priority of the device in a VRRP group.

The undo vrrp vrid priority command restores the default priority of the device in a VRRP group.

By default, the priority of the device in a VRRP group is 100.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To configure the device in a VRRP group as the default gateway, run the vrrp vrid priority command to specify the highest priority for the device so that the device can become the master.

Prerequisites

The vrrp vrid virtual-ip command has been executed to create a VRRP group.

Precautions

Priority 0 is reserved in the system. Priority 255 is reserved for the IP address owner.
When devices in a VRRP group have the same priority, the device that first changes to master state becomes the master. If devices attempt to be the master simultaneously, the device where the interface with the largest IP address is located becomes the master.

Example

# Set the priority of the switch in VRRP group 1 to 150 on the VLANIF interface.

[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 10.1.1.2
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] vrrp vrid 1 priority 150

# Set the priority of the switch in VRRP group 1 to 150 on the Ethernet interface.

<HUAWEI> system-view
