Parameters

virtual-router-id: Specifies an IPv4 VRRP group by its virtual router ID in the range of 1 to 255.

priority-value: Specifies a priority value in the range of 1 to 254. A higher number indicates a higher priority.

Usage guidelines

VRRP determines the role (master or backup) of each device in a VRRP group by priority. A device with a higher priority is more likely to become the master.

VRRP priority is in the range of 0 to 255, and a greater number represents a higher priority. Priorities 1 to 254 are configurable. Priority 0 is reserved for special uses, and priority 255 is for the IP address owner. The device acting as the IP address owner in a VRRP group always has a running priority of 255 and acts as the master as long as it works correctly.

Examples

# Configure the priority of the switch in VRRP group 1 on VLAN-interface 2 to 150.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2
[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] vrrp vrid 1 priority 150
