Master Election Based on Priority

Switch with higher priority becomes the master. When you change the priority of the switch ES1-24p-2, which is the backup to a value higher than the current master ES1-24p-1, then ES1-24p-2 becomes the master.

1. Change the priority on switch ES1-24p-2.

   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS# configure terminal
   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS(config)# router vrrp
   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS(config-vrrp)# vrrp version v3
   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS(config-vrrp)# interface vlan 100
   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp 1 ipv4 priority 250
   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp 1 ipv6 priority 250
   ES1-24p-2 SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# end
   

2. Verify the VRRP configuration.
