Usage Guidelines
By default, the device being configured with this command will take over as master virtual router for the
group if it has a higher priority than the current master virtual router. You can configure a delay, which will
cause the VRRP device to wait the specified number of seconds before issuing an advertisement claiming
master ownership.
The device that is the IP address owner will preempt, regardless of the setting of this command.
Note
Examples The following example configures the device to preempt the current master virtual router when its priority of
200 is higher than that of the current master virtual router. If the device preempts the current master virtual
router, it waits 15 seconds before issuing an advertisement claiming it is the master virtual router.
