config vrrp ipif
Purpose To configure the authentication type for the VRRP routers of an IP interface.
Syntax
config vrrp ipif <ipif_name 12> [authtype [none | simple authdata <string 8> | ip
authdata <string 16>]]
Description This command is used to set the authentication type for the VRRP routers of an IP interface.
Parameters
ipif <ipif_name 12> – Enter the name of a previously configured IP interface for which to
configure the VRRP entry. This IP interface must be assigned to a VLAN on the Switch.
authtype – Specifies the type of authentication used. The authtype must be consistent with
all routers participating within the VRRP group. The user may choose between:
none – Entering this parameter indicates that VRRP protocol exchanges will not be
authenticated.
simple authdata <string 8> – This parameter, along with an alphanumeric string of no more
than eight characters, to set a simple password for comparing VRRP message packets
received by a router. If the two passwords are not exactly the same, the packet will be
dropped.
ip authdata <string 16> – This parameter will require the user to set an alphanumeric
authentication string of no more than 16 characters to generate a MD5 message digest for
authentication in comparing VRRP messages received by the router. If the two values are
inconsistent, the packet will be dropped.
