preempt-mode
Use this command to configure preempt mode. If set to true, the highest priority backup will
ALWAYS be the master when the default Master is unavailable. If set to false, a higher priority
backup will not preempt a lower priority backup who is acting as Master.
Syntax
preempt-mode true
preempt-mode false
Mode
Router mode
Usage
When the master router fails, the backup routers come online in priority order—highest to
lowest. Preempt mode means that a higher priority back up router will take over the master
role from a lower priority back up.
Example
awplus#configure terminal
awplus(config)#router vrrp 4
awplus(config-router)#preempt-mode false
