RE: setting up HSRP priority w/o priority command

Hi,

Lets say R1 needs to have a higher HSRP PROIORITY than R2 without using
STANDBY PREEMPT or STANDBY PRIORITY commands. I assume they are talking
about the HSRP PRIORITY values, and not just who will win the election.

Why not leave R1 at it's default priority, then go over to R2 and use
the standby track command and point it to an interface that happens to
be down. Thus effectively lowering the PRIORITY on R2. Then R1 will
have a higher priority than R2 without using the PREEMPT or PRIORITY
commands.

If there are no "down" interfaces on R2, then just create a tunnel
interface on R2 with an inaccessable destination, or no destination.

HTH,

Curt Girardin, #15972
