+Sync groups
+-----------
+
+A sync group allows VRRP groups to transition together.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ edit high-availability
+ set sync-group MAIN member VLAN9
+ set sync-group MAIN member VLAN20
+
+In the following example, when VLAN9 transitions, VLAN20 will also transition:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vrrp {
+ group VLAN9 {
+ interface eth0.9
+ virtual-address 10.9.1.1/24
+ priority 200
+ vrid 9
+ }
+ group VLAN20 {
+ interface eth0.20
+ priority 200
+ virtual-address 10.20.20.1/24
+ vrid 20
+ }
+ sync-group MAIN {
+ member VLAN20
+ member VLAN9
+ }
+ }
+
+
+.. warning:: All items in a sync group should be similarly configured. If one VRRP group is set to a different premption delay or priority, it would result in an endless transition loop.

Preemption
----------
-VRRP can use two modes: preemptive and non-preemptive. In the preemptive mode, if a router with a higher priority fails and then comes back, routers with lower priority will give up their master status. In non-preemptive mode, the newly elected master will keep the master status and the virtual address indenfinitely.

By default VRRP uses preemption. You can disable it with the "no-preempt" option:
