What is vrrpInstancePreempt?

Whether a higher-priority backup is allowed to take over as master from a lower-priority current master as soon as it appears (preempt), or must wait (noPreempt). Admins disable preemption when they want to avoid unnecessary flapping back to a 'preferred' node right after it recovers.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> KEEPALIVED-MIB::vrrpInstancePreempt

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> KEEPALIVED-MIB::vrrpInstancePreempt.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.13.1 i <value>
