Priority Policy Commands
delta-in-use-limit
Syntax
delta-in-use-limit in-use-priority-limit
no delta-in-use-limit
Context
config>vrrp>policy vrrp-policy-id
Description
This command sets a lower limit on the virtual router in-use priority that can be derived from the 
delta priority control events.
Each vrrp-priority-id places limits on the delta priority control events to define the in-use priority of 
the virtual router instance. Setting this limit prevents the sum of the delta priority events from 
lowering the in-use priority value of the associated virtual router instances below the configured 
value.
The limit has no effect on explicit priority control events. Explicit priority control events are 
controlled by setting the in-use priority to any value between 1 and 254.
Only non-owner virtual router instances can be associated with VRRP priority control policies and 
their priority control events.
Once the total sum of all delta events is calculated and subtracted from the base priority of the virtual 
router instance, the result is compared to the delta-in-use-limit value. If the result is less than the 
limit, the delta-in-use-limit value is used as the virtual router in-use priority value. If an explicit 
priority control event overrides the delta priority control events, the delta-in-use-limit has no effect.
Setting the limit to a higher value than the default of 1 limits the effect of the delta priority control 
events on the virtual router instance base priority value. This allows for multiple priority control 
events while minimizing the overall effect on the in-use priority.
Changing the in-use-priority-limit causes an immediate re-evaluation of the in-use priority values for 
all virtual router instances associated with this vrrp-policy-id based on the current sum of all active 
delta control policy events.
The no form of the command reverts to the default value.
Default
1 - The lower limit of 1 for the in-use priority, as modified, by delta priorty control events.
Parameters
in-use-priority-limit — The lower limit of the in-use priority base, as modified by priority control
policies. The in-use-priority-limit has the same range as the non-owner virtual router instance 
base-priority parameter. If the result of the total delta priority control events minus the virtual 
router instances base-priority, is less than the in-use-priority-limit, the in-use-priority-limit value 
is used as the virtual router instances in-use priority value.
Setting the in-use-priority-limit to a value equal to or larger than the virtual router instance base-
priority prevents the delta priority control events from having any effect on the virtual router 
instance in-use priority value.
Values
1 — 254
