| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
You can configure a tracking function in the WSM that dynamically modifies the priority of a VRRP router based on its current state. The objective of tracking is to have, whenever possible, the master bidding processes for various virtual routers in a LAN converge on the same switch. Tracking ensures that the selected switch is the one that offers optimal network performance. For tracking to have any effect on virtual router operation, preemption must be enabled.
Note:
Tracking only affects hot standby and active-standby configurations. It does not have any effect on active-active sharing configurations.
For more information about virtual router priority tracking, see the Web OS Switch Software 10.0 Application Guide, part number 212777-A.
