By default, a higher-priority backup router preempts a lower-priority master router. To explicitly enable the master router to be preempted, include the preempt statement at either of the following hierarchy levels:
-
preempt;
To prohibit a higher-priority backup router from preempting a lower priority master router, include the no-preempt statement:
-
no-preempt;
The hold time is the maximum number of seconds that can elapse before a higher-priority backup router preempts the master router. You might want to configure a hold time so that all the JUNOS software components converge before preemption.
By default, the hold-time value is 0 seconds. A value of 0 means that preemption can occur immediately after the backup router comes online. Note that the hold time is counted from the time the backup router comes online. The hold time is only valid when the VRRP router is just coming online.
To modify the preemption hold-time value, include the hold-time statement at either of the following hierarchy levels:
-
hold-time seconds;
The hold time can be from 0 through 3600 seconds.
