This command configures the router to take over as master Virtual Router (VR) for a virtual group
if it has higher priority than the current master VR.
This feature is enabled by default. You can also configure a delay, which will cause the virtual
router to wait the specified interval before issuing an advertisement claiming master ownership.

preempt, the others must be set likewise.
