VRRP determines the role (primary or secondary) of each device in a VRRP group by priority.
A device with a higher priority is more likely to become the primary. A greater number represents a higher priority.
Default Priority is 100
Sample Config:
SW1:
vlan 128
tagged 3-4
ip address x.x.x.2 255.255.255.0
vrrp vrid 10
virtual-ip-address x.x.x.1
priority 190
enable
exit
exit
SW2:
vlan 128
tagged 3-4
ip address x.x.x.3 255.255.255.0
vrrp vrid 10
virtual-ip-address x.x.x.1
enable
exit
exit
Since you are having 6400, you can use VSX for High availability.

Subject: VRRP CONFIGURATION ON ARUBA CX SWITCH
Hi team,
We have two 6400 series switches. We want to configure vrrp between vlan for common gateway for users.
Example
On switch 1 :
Sw1(config)# interface vlan 10
Ip address 192.168.1.2/24
Vrrp 1 address 192.168.1.1 primary
Vrrp priority 150
And on switch 2:
Sw2( config)# interface vlan 10
Ip address 192.168.1.3/24
Vrrp 1 address 192.168.1.1 secondry or primary?
I am confused about this primary and secondary.
What does it mean. Should I configure primary on both the switches for vrrp ip or primary on master switch only.
