# 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
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/ip-interface-context/ip-priority.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
