If port 3/1 on VRRP router A goes down, the master for virtual router A is still functioning but worksta-
tion clients 1 and 2 will not be able to get to the Internet. With this tracking policy enabled, however,
master router 1’s priority will be temporarily decremented to 50, allowing backup router 1 to take over and
provide connectivity for those workstations. When port 3/1 on VRRP router A comes back up, master 1
will take over again.
Note. The preempt option must be enabled on virtual router 1; otherwise the original master will not be
able to take over. See “Setting Preemption for Virtual Routers” on page 19-11 for more information about
enabling preemption.
