ip vrrp priority
Syntax
ip vrrp vrid priority priorityValue
no ip vrrp vrid priority
Release Information
Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
Description
Configures the priority of VRRP routers. The no version restores the default value,
100.
NOTE: If you configure VRRP on a virtual router and associate the IP address with
the VRRP instance ID (VRID) so that the virtual address becomes the interface address
of the router, the priority of the router automatically changes to 255 making it the
master router. This change of priority occurs in JUNOSe Software Releases 11.0.0
and higher-numbered releases and later to enable full compliance with RFC-Virtual
Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) (April 2004).
Also, you cannot configure the priority of the VRRP router as 255 by using the ip
vrrp priority command, unless you configured the router to automatically learn
associated addresses by using the auto keyword with the ip vrrp virtual-address
command. In addition, if you change the virtual address of the VRRP router, which
is operating as the IP address owner, to an IP address that is no longer the IP address
owner, the priority changes automatically to the default value of 100.
