Authentication Failure

Any received VRRP advertisement message that fails authentication must be silently

discarded with an invalid authentication counter incremented for the ingress virtual router

Authentication Data

This feature is different than the VRRP advertisement message field with the same name.

This is any required authentication information that is pertinent to the configured

authentication type. The type of authentication data used for each authentication type is listed

The MAC address can be used instead of an IP address in ARP responses when the virtual

router instance is master. The MAC address configuration must be the same for all virtual

routers participating as a virtual router or indeterminate connectivity by the attached IP hosts

will result. All VRRP advertisement messages are transmitted with ieee-mac-addr as the

VRRP advertisement messages contain an IP address count field that indicates the number of

IP addresses listed in the sequential IP address fields at the end of the message.

The Alcatel-Lucent routers implementation always logs mismatching events. The decision on

where and whether to forward the generated messages depends on the configuration of the

event manager.
