Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 9.0 of Junos OS.

Description

Enable chassis cluster node preemption within a redundancy group. If preempt is added to a redundancy group configuration, the device with the higher priority in the group can initiate a failover to become master. By default, preemption is disabled.

Initiating a failover with the request chassis cluster failover node or request chassis cluster failover redundancy-group command overrides the priority settings and preemption.
