NOTE:
If the link-local address is changed, the VR configuration is removed. When an IP address is
removed, the virtual IP address in that subnet is removed.
Only IPv6 addresses are processed when in IPv6 context.
Default: None
Example
If VLAN 10 on router "A" is configured with an IP address of 10.10.10.1/24 and VR 1, and you want router "A" to
operate as the owner for this VR, the VIP of the owner in VR 1 on router "A" is also 10.10.10.1/24. On router "B,"
which will operate as a backup for VR 1, VLAN 10 is configured (in the same network) with an IP address of
10.10.10.15/24. However, because the backup must use the same VIP as the owner, the VIP for the backup
configured on router "B" for VR 1 is also 10.10.10.1/24.

Reconfiguring the priority for a backup
When you configure a backup in a VR, it is given a default priority of 100. This command is intended for use
where it is necessary to establish a precedence among the backup routers on the same network or subnet in a
given VR.
Syntax:
priority 1-254
Used in a VR context of a VLAN where the router is configured as a backup. This command changes the
backup's priority and is used to establish the precedence of a backup where there are multiple backups belonging
to the same network or subnet.
NOTE:
An owner is automatically assigned the highest priority, 255, which cannot be changed unless the
owner status is reconfigured to backup.
Default: 100; Range: 1 - 254, where 1 is the lowest precedence
