Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) | 1137
Disable Preempt
The
preempt
command is enabled by default, and it forces the system to change the MASTER router if
another router with a higher priority comes online.
Prevent the BACKUP router with the higher priority from becoming the MASTER router by disabling
preempt
.
Since preempt is enabled by default, disable the preempt function with the following command in the
VRRP mode. Re-enable preempt by entering the
preempt
command. When preempt is enabled, it does not
display in the show commands, because it is a default setting.,
Figure 58-10. Command Example:
no preempt
Figure 58-11. Command Example Display:
show config
in VRID mode
Note: All virtual routers in the VRRP group must be configured the same: all configured with preempt
enabled or configured with preempt disabled.
Task Command Syntax Command Mode
Prevent any BACKUP router with a higher priority
from becoming the MASTER router.
