Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to set the router priority, which determines the designated router for this network.
When two routers are attached to a network, both attempt to become the designated router. The router
with the higher router priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes
precedence. A router with a router priority set to zero cannot become the designated router or backup
designated router.
Cisco NX-OS uses this priority value when you configure OSPF for broadcast networks using the
neighbor
command in router configuration mode.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples
This example shows how to set the router priority value to 4:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)#
no switchport
switch(config-if)#
ip ospf priority 4
switch(config-if)#
