If preempt is enabled, and this backup router has a priority higher than

the current acting master, it will take over as the new master. However,

note that if the original master (i.e., the owner of the VRRP IP address)

comes back on line, it will always resume control as the master.

The delay can give additional time to receive an advertisement

message from the current master before taking control. If the router

attempting to become the master has just come on line, this delay also

gives it time to gather information for its routing table before actually

preempting the currently active router.

A router that has a physical interface with the same IP address as that

used for the virtual router (that is, the owner of the VRRP IP address)

will become the master virtual router. The backup router with the

highest priority will become the master router if the current master

fails. When the original master router recovers, it will take over as the

active master router again.

If two or more routers are configured with the same VRRP priority, the

router with the highest IP address is elected as the new master router if

the current master fails.
