| Description | The cHsrpGrpPriority helps to select the active and the
standby routers. The router with the highest priority is
selected as the active router. In the priority range of 0
to 255, 0 is the lowest priority and 255 is the highest
priority.
If two (or more) routers in a group have the same priority,
the one with the highest ip address of the interface is the
active router. When the active router fails to send a Hello
message within a configurable period of time, the standby
router with the highest priority becomes the active
router.
A router with highest priority will only attempt to
overthrow a lower priority active router if it is
configured to preempt. But, if there is more than one
router which is not active, the highest priority non-active
router becomes the standby router. |
