Ahmed,

        In other words, you only want to use 'preempt' on one side. If
you put it on both, the priority will be the deciding factor still, but
it demonstrates to the proctor that you really don't understand the
command well.

Hi there,

The preempt is there when you want your primary to resume primary when
it comes back online. You can also set a time to delay the preempt as
well

Kind regards

James

When is it necessary to configure Preempt while configuring HSRP.

If the requirement is simply configure HSRP between R1 and R2. R1
should be the first choice, and R2 should be the second choice.

I will simply configure

R1

standby ip 1.1.1.1
standby priority 105

R2

standy ip 1.1.1.1

-------------------------------------------------------------

But if the requirement is R1 should take the role of primary when comes
online

I will then configure

R1
standby ip 1.1.1.1
standby priority 105
standby preempt

I don't think I will need to configure preempt on R2 though.

Sometimes I would see that preempt is configured on both routers that
doesn't not make any sense to me, unless I am missing something.

Regards,

Ahmed
