, the track port is up. SInce the port is up, the track priority does not affect the VSRP
priority calculation. If the track port goes down, the track priority does affect VSRP priority
calculation, as shown in

MAC address failover on VSRP-aware devices
VSRP-aware devices maintain a record of each VRID and its VLAN. When the device has received a
Hello message for a VRID in a given VLAN, the device creates a record for that VRID and VLAN and
includes the port number in the record. Each subsequent time the device receives a Hello
message for the same VRID and VLAN, the device checks the port number:
