To verify the change, enter the following command from any level of the CLI.
device# show ip vrrp

This example shows that even though this Layer 3 switch is the Owner of the VRID ("mode owner"), the Layer 3 switch priority for the
VRID is 110 and the state is now "backup" instead of "active". In addition, the administrative status is "enabled".
To change the Master priority back to the default Owner priority 255, enter
no
followed by the command you entered to change the
priority. For example, to change the priority of a VRRP Owner back to 255 from 110, enter the following command.
device(config-if-1/1/6-vrid-1)# no owner priority 110
You cannot set the priority to 255 using the
owner priority
command.
Accept mode for backup VRRP devices
Accept mode allows a backup VRRP device to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets if the backup device becomes the master
VRRP device.
For each VRRP virtual routing instance there is one master device and all other devices are backups. Accept mode allows some network
management functionality for backup VRRP devices with the ability to respond to ping, traceroute, and telnet packets. By default, non-
owner VRRP devices do not accept packets destined for the IPv4 or IPv6 VRID addresses. Troubleshooting of network connections to
the VRRP non-owner master device is difficult unless accept mode is enabled.
NOTE
The accept mode functionality enables a VRRP non-owner master device to respond to ping, Telnet, and traceroute packets,
but the device will not respond to ssh packets.
Enabling accept mode on a backup VRRP device
Enabling accept mode allows a backup VRRP device to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets if the backup device becomes
the master VRRP device.
This task is performed on any device that is designated as a backup VRRP device and the functionality is activated if the backup device
becomes a master VRRP device. For each VRRP virtual routing instance there is one master device and all other devices are backups.
Accept mode allows some network management functionality for backup VRRP devices with the ability to respond to ping, traceroute,
and telnet packets. By default, non-owner VRRP devices do not accept packets destined for the IPv4 or IPv6 VRID addresses. Repeat
this task for all devices that are to be designated as backup devices.
