Field Description
Operational Priority Indicates the priority to be used for the virtual router master election process.
Higher values imply higher priority.
• A priority of 0 is sent by the master router to indicate that this router has
ceased to participate in VRRP and a backup virtual router should
transition to become a new master.
• A priority of 255 is used for the router that owns the associated IP
address(es).
Interface IP Address Indicates the IP Address associated with the selected interface.
Owner Set to True if the Virtual IP Address and the Interface IP Address are the

Router is the owner of the Virtual IP Address, and will always win an election
for master router when it is active.
