Syntax

no standby [group] priority
• group - Identifies the HSRP group. (Range: 0-255)
• level - Priority of this router in the HSRP group. (Range: 1-255)
Default Setting
Group number: 0
Priority: 100
Command Mode
Interface (VLAN)
Command Usage
• The router with the highest priority is elected as the master virtual router. The
router with the next highest priority is elected as the standby router. The
standby router will become the master router if the current master fails. When
the original master router recovers, it will become the active master router
again if the configured priorities have not been changed.
• If two or more routers are configured with the same HSRP priority, the router
with the higher IP address is elected as the new master router if the current
master fails.
• The priority setting takes precedence over authentication. In other words, if a
router with a higher priority than any other router comes on line, but is not
configured with the standby authentication command, or is configured with
the wrong string, it will still take over as the active master.
• The HSRP priority can change dynamically if an interface is configured with
the standby track command and another interface on the router fails or
comes back on line.
