Table 38 Virtual Router Group Operation controls
Control Description
Set Virtual Router Group to Backup Forces the master virtual router group into backup mode. This is generally
used for passing master control back to a preferred switch once the preferred
switch has been returned to service after a failure. When this command is
executed, the current master gives up control and initiates a new election by
temporarily advertising its own priority level as 0 (lowest). After the new
election, the virtual router forced into backup mode by this command will
resume master control in the following cases:
• This switch owns the virtual router (the IP addresses of the virtual router
and its IP interface are the same)
• This switch’s virtual router has a higher priority and preemption is
enabled.
• There are no other virtual routers available to take master control.
