| 8.2.3 | HSRP standby preempt |
| The standby router automatically
assumes the active router role when the active router fails or is
removed from service. This new active router remains the forwarding
router even when the former active router with the higher priority
regains service in the network.
The former active router can be configured to resume the forwarding router role from a router with a lower priority. To enable a router to resume the forwarding router role, enter the following command in interface configuration mode.
When the standby preempt command is issued, the interface changes to the appropriate state. The following is an example of the state message generated: 3w1d : %STANDBY-6-STATECHANGE: STANDBY: 50: FastEthernet0/0 state standby -> Active This message is automatically generated as soon as the router becomes active in the network.
