Ip Vrrp Authentication Key - Motorola BSR 64000 Reference Manual

ip vrrp authentication key

The ip vrrp authentication key command specifies the authentication string for use
with the authentication type, text only. The no ip vrrp authentication key command
removes the specified authentication string for use with the authentication type, text
only.
Use the ip vrrp authentication key command to set a simple text key in VRRP
messages. The unencrypted authentication string is transmitted for authentication type
simple text in all VRRP protocol messages. The same authentication string must be
configured on all routers for a virtual router. Authentication mismatch will not prevent
a router from taking over as the designated Master. Authentication mismatch will
cause VRRP to stop working properly for a virtual router due to authentication failure,
and results in lack of communication between virtual routers.
