Usage Information With authentication enabled, OS10 ensures that only trusted routers participate in routing in an autonomous
network. The no version of this command disables authentication of VRRP data exchanges.

preempt
Permits (preempts) a backup router with a higher priority value to become the master router.
Syntax
preempt
Parameters None
Default Enabled
Command Mode INTERFACE-VRRP
Usage Information VRRP uses preempt to determine what happens after a VRRP backup router becomes the Master. With preempt
enabled by default, VRRP switches to a backup if that backup router comes online with a priority higher than the
new Master router. If you disable preempt, VRRP switches only if the original Master recovers or the new Master
fails. The no version of this command disables preemption.
Example
OS10(conf-eth1/1/5-vrid-254)# preempt
Supported Releases 10.2.0E or later
priority
Assigns a VRRP priority value for the VRRP group. The VRRP protocol uses this value during the master election process.
Syntax
priority number
Parameters number — Enter a priority value (1 to 254).
