Configuring the track priority

The track priority is a priority that adjusts an Ethernet link interface when the physical uplink port
that it is tracking fails. In this way, a lower track priority can force a different router to take over as
master should the tracked uplink port fail.

For additional conceptual information about track ports and track priorities, refer to the Network
OS Administrator’s Guide
