Router configured with no preempt will never attempt to transfer the master role in presence of the existing Master. Do you have spanning tree enabled on the segment connecting R1 to R2? Most likely you rebooted the second switch and it caused the spanning tree reconvergence on the trunk that connects two switches together. VRRP group 10 on R1 became active before it had a chance to detect the existing group with the same ID running on R2.

By default VRRP will preempt for all configured groups. You need to disable preemption explicitly with no vrrp [group] preempt. By default, a preemptive scheme is enabled whereby a higher priority virtual router backup that becomes available takes over for the virtual router backup that was elected to become virtual router master. You can disable this preemptive scheme using the no vrrp preempt command. If preemption is disabled, the virtual router backup that is elected to become virtual router master remains the master until the original virtual router master recovers and becomes master again.

We have configured VRRP with no vrrp preemption. After a power down of switch A1, which was selected as master VRRP, the VRRP moved to the switch A2, as it should be. After power up it of the switch A1 it became Master for the VRRP again and the other switch A2 became backup unexpectedly. Is this normal behavior of VRRP after a reboot? We have configured VRRP to be non preemption to avoid a second traffic interruption. We want to have the switch-over taking place in service hours under our control.
