owner

Designates a virtual router as the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) owner and configures priority and track values.
Syntax
owner [ priority value ] [ track-priority value ]
no owner [ priority value ] [ track-priority value ]
Command Default

No virtual routers are designated as the VRRP owner.

Parameters
priority value
Abdicates owner status by setting a value that is lower than the backup default priority value. Value can be from 1 to 254. Default is 100.
track-priority value
Sets the priority value if the tracked port fails. Value can be from 1 to 254. Default is 2.
Modes

VRID interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

This command specifies that the device on which it is configured owns the IP address that is associated with the virtual router; making this device the default VRRP master router with its priority set to 255.

This command must be entered before the ip-address command can be configured for a VRRP virtual router ID (VRID).

The no form of this command removes the virtual router configuration.

Examples

The following example configures the device as the VRRP owner.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router vrrp
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/6
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip address 10.53.5.1/24
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# owner
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 10.53.5.1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# activate

The following example configures the device as the VRRP owner and sets the track priority to 10.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router vrrp
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/6
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip address 10.53.5.1/24
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# owner track-priority 10
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 10.53.5.1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# activate
