Election of Master Based on Priority

For setup, refer to Figure VRRP- Topology 3.

Configure the following steps in the Node (R1). The sequence of the configuration is as follows:

Repeat the steps of Section “Master and Backup Settlement”
Configure the priority of the VRRP in R1 to a higher value (e.g. 150). Then, R1 becomes Master.

Note:

If the Priority value of a particular node is higher than the priority values of other nodes, that particular node will become the Master.

On R1: Perform the following configurations in R1 to increase the priority to 150.
Type the following:
- Enter the Global Configuration Mode.
```
iS5comm# configure terminal
```
- Enable VRRP and enter the VRRP Configuration Mode.
```
iS5comm(config)# router vrrp
```
- Enable VRRP Version 3.
```
iS5comm(config-vrrp)# vrrp version v3
```
- Select an interface to configure VRRP.
```
iS5comm(config-vrrp)# interface vlan 10
```
- Configure the priority of VRRP with vrid 200 to 150 (IPv4).
```
iS5comm(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp 200 ipv4 priority 150
```
- Exit the VRRP Interface Configuration Mode.
```
iS5comm(config-vrrp-if)# end
```

View the status of VRRP on R1, R2, and R3 by using the following commands.

Type the following:

iS5comm# show vrrp

P indicates configured to preempt

Interface vrID Prio P State  Master Address VRouter Address

--------- ---- ---- - -----  -------------- --------------

Note: VLAN 10 on R2 is down, so R2 is not the Master anymore.
