Two Dell N4032 switches, each with their own ISP hand off. The interface facing the ISP on each switch is Vlan 400.
All user traffic behind the switches is in Vlan 500. The two switches are trunked together via Vlan 500 as well. Int Vlan 500 on each switch has a unique primary IP address and an identical vrrp IP address, all in the same subnet. I have setup tracking on Vlan 500 to track Vlan 400 and decrement if Vlan 400 goes down.
Switch 1 is master, Switch 2 is stuck in "initialize" and nothing I do will force fail over.
Switch 1 is currently the Master. But the problem is, it has a lower priority number. Switch 2 has the higher priority. I have run the vrrp *group number* preempt command on Switch 2 and preempt is turned on on both when you run show vrrp *group number*.

Only difference I can see is "admin mode" enabled on one, disabled on the other. Should I just run vrrp 100 mode on Switch 2?
edit
I could not find a command to manually enable Admin Mode on the trouble switch, but was able to find it in the GUI. Turning it on in the GUI fixed the problem.
What is the CLI command?
