Default level
2: System level
Parameters
virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.
priority-value: Priority value of the router in the specified VRRP group, which ranges from 1 to 254. A higher number indicates a higher priority.
Description
Use vrrp vrid priority to configure the priority of the router in the specified VRRP group.
Use undo vrrp vrid priority to restore the default.
By default, the priority of a router in a VRRP group is 100.
Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address of the VRRP group.
The role that a router plays in a VRRP group depends on its priority. A higher priority means that the router is more likely to become the master. Priority 0 is reserved for special use and 255 for the IP address owner.
If the router is the IP address owner, its priority is always 255. Therefore, it remains as the master so long as it is operating properly.
