The VRID field is configurable only if you are creating a new virtual router. The valid values
are 1 to 255.
10. Select the unit/slot/port for the new virtual router from the Interface list.
11. In the Preempt Mode field, select the Enable or Disable option.
If you select Enable, a backup router preempts the master router if it has a priority
greater than the master virtual router's priority, provided the master is not the owner of the
virtual router IP address. The default is Enable.
12. In the Accept Mode field, select the Enable or Disable option.
If you select Enable, the VRRP master accepts all types of data packets addressed to IP
addresses associated with the virtual router. If you select Disable, the VRRP master
discards all types of data packets addressed to IP addresses associated with the virtual
router, if it is not the IP address owner. The default is Disable.
13. Enter the Configured Priority value to be used by the VRRP router in the election for the
master virtual router.
The valid values are 1 to 254. If the virtual IP address is the same as the interface IP
address, the priority gets set to 254, no matter what you enter.

advertisement packets by this virtual router.
