VSRP priority bias
Track Ports
Optionally, you can configure track ports to be included during VSRP priority calculation. In VSRP, a
track port
is
a port that is not a member of the VRID’s VLAN, but whose state is nonetheless considered when the priority is
calculated. Typically, a track port represents the exit side of traffic received on the VRID ports. By default, no track
ports are configured.
When you configure a track port, you assign a priority value to the port. If the port goes down, VSRP subtracts the
track port’s priority value from the configured VSRP priority. For example, if the you configure a track port with
priority 20 and the configured VSRP priority is 100, the software subtracts 20 from 100 if the track port goes down,
resulting in a VSRP priority of 80. The new priority value is used when calculating the VSRP priority. Figure 8.11
shows an example.
