| Each standby group has its own active
and standby routers. The network administrator can assign a priority
value to each router in a standby group, allowing the administrator
to control the order in which active routers for that group are
selected.
To set the priority value of a
router, enter the following command in interface configuration mode.
Router#(config-if)standby
group-number priority priority-value
| Variable |
Definition |
| group-number |
Indicates the HSRP standby
group; this number is in the range of 0 to 255 |
| Priority-value |
Indicates the number that
prioritizes a potential hot standby router; the range is 0 to
255; the default is 100 |
The router in an HSRP group with the
highest priority becomes the forwarding router. The tiebreaker for
matching priority is higher number IP address.
The example in the Figure to the left
shows that Router-A interface FastEthernet 0/0 has a priority value of 150 in
HSRP standby group 50.
