# ip priority

## Syntax

```
[no] ip priority <n>
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>n</code></td><td>The priority of the interface. Must be an integer between 1 and 4, with 1 being the highest priority and 4 being the lowest.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

The default interface priority is 1.

## Usage Guidelines

Island supports multiple WAN connections. The interface priority determines which WAN connection(s) outgoing traffic will use when multiple WAN connections are present and active.

Outbound connections will normally use the highest priority active WAN interface. If multiple active WAN interfaces have the same priority, outbound connections will be distributed between them.

This command is valid only in interface context. Entering it does not change the [configuration mode](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/ip-interface-context/ip-autoconfig.md) of the interface.

## Examples

```
ip arp-spoof on
```
