configure vlan esrp priority
ExtremeWare 7.7 Command Reference Guide 1549
configure vlan esrp priority
configure vlan <vlan name> esrp priority <value>
Description
Configures the ESRP priority.
Syntax Description
Default
Priority = 0.
Usage Guidelines
The ESRP priority is one of the factors used by the ESRP election algorithm in determining which
switch is the Master switch.
The range of the priority value is 0 to 254, with 0 being the lowest priority, 254 being the highest. If the
ESRP priority is the determining criteria for the election algorithm, the highest priority value
determines which switch will act as master for a particular VLAN.
Setting the priority to 255 configures the switch to slave mode, and to be ineligible to become the
master. The switch will remain in slave mode even when the VLAN fails over from the current master.
This feature is typically used to ensure a switch cannot become the ESRP master while it is offline for
servicing.
Example
The following command configures the ESRP priority to the highest priority on VLAN
esrp-1
:
configure vlan esrp-1 esrp priority 254
