Explanation

When no HSRP priority is configured, all routers use the default priority of 100. When priorities are tied, HSRP uses the interface IP address as a tiebreaker-the router with the highest IP address wins the active role. MAC address, boot order, and interface bandwidth play no role in the HSRP election process.
