short-path-forwarding
Enables short-path forwarding on a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) router.
Syntax
short-path-forwarding
[
revert-priority
number
]
no short-path-forwarding
[
revert-priority
number
]
Command Default
Short-path forwarding is disabled.
Parameters
- revert-priority number
- Allows additional control over short-path forwarding on a backup router. If you configure this option, the revert-priority number acts as a threshold for the current priority of the session, and only if the current priority is higher than the revert-priority will the backup router be able to route frames. The range of revert-priority is 1 to 254.
Modes
VRRP-E router configuration mode
Usage Guidelines
Short-path forwarding means that a backup physical router in a virtual router attempts to bypass the VRRP-E master router and directly forward packets through interfaces on the backup router.
This command can be used for VRRP-E, but not for VRRP. You can perform this configuration on a virtual Ethernet (VE) interface only.
