ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1276
configure esrp priority
configure esrp <esrpDomain> priority <number>
Description
Configures the ESRP priority.
Syntax Description
Default
The default ESRP priority is 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 ESRP domain.
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 ESRP domain 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 ESRP domain
esrp1
:
configure esrp esrp1 priority 254
