VRRP Authentication Settings

The VRRP Authentication Settings window is used to set the authentication for each Interface
configured for VRRP. This authentication is used to identify incoming message packets received by a
router. If the authentication is not consistent with incoming packets, they will be discarded. The
Authentication Type must be consistent with all routers participating within the VRRP group.
To view the following window, click Layer 3 Features > VRRP > VRRP Authentication Settings.
