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
