VRRP Authentication Settings

This page is used to configure a virtual router authentication type on an interface.
To view the following window, click L3 Features > VRRP > VRRP Authentication Settings, as shown below:
Click the Edit button to re-configure a specific entry listed.
The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter
Authentication Type
Specifies the ID of the Virtual Router used. All routers participating in this group
must be assigned the same VRID value. This value must be different from other
VRRP groups set on the Switch.
Specifies the state of the virtual router function of the interface.
Specifies the time interval used between sending advertisement messages.
Specifies an IP address of the physical device that will provide the most direct route
to the Internet or other critical network connections from this virtual router. This
must be a real IP address of a real device on the network. If the connection from the
virtual router to this IP address fails, the virtual router will automatically disabled. A
new Master will be elected from the backup routers participating in the VRRP group.
Different critical IP addresses may be assigned to different routers participating in
the VRRP group, and can therefore define multiple routes to the Internet or other
critical network connections.

Auth. Data field for comparing VRRP message packets received by a router. If the two
passwords are not exactly the same, the packet will be dropped.
