Configuring the track priority

Enabling preemption for a VE interface
To enable preemption for a VE interface, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the <interface-vlan> node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the <interface-vlan> node, include the <interface>/<ve> hierarchy of node elements,
3. Under the <ve> node, include the <name> element, and specify the VE name.
4. Under the <ve> node, include the <vrrp> or <vrrpe> node element located in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-vrrp namespace.
5. Under the <vrrp> or <vrrpe> node, include the following leaf elements.
a. In the <vrid> element, specify the group ID of the VRRP router group.
b. Include the empty <preempt-mode> element to enable preemption.
The following example enables preemption.

Configuring the track priority
The track priority is a priority that adjusts an Ethernet link interface when the physical uplink port
that it is tracking fails. In this way, a lower track priority can force a different router to take over as
master should the tracked uplink port fail.
For additional conceptual information about track ports and track priorities, refer to the Network
OS Administrator’s Guide.
