Table 40 Virtual Router Operation controls
Control Description
Set Virtual Router to Backup Forces the master virtual router 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.
