Which option is the default priority for VRRP?

• 110
• 1
• 255
• 100

Explanation: The default priority for a router participating in Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is 100. This priority value is used during the election process to determine which device will function as the Master router for the group.

Key details regarding VRRP priority include:

• Master Election: The router with the highest priority is elected as the Master. If priorities are equal, the router with the highest IP address becomes the Master.
• Manual Configuration: Administrators can manually set the priority to a higher value (such as 110) to ensure a specific router becomes the Master for deterministic network behavior.
• IP Address Owner: If a router's actual physical IP address is used as the virtual IP address for the group, that router will automatically become the Master, and priorities are ignored in the election process.
• Verification: The current priority and state of a VRRP group can be verified using the show vrrp or show vrrp brief commands.
