BGP (EI Mode Only)

The Switch supports Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a layer 3 Unicast routing protocol that maintains a table of IP
networks or "prefixes" which designate network reachability among autonomous systems. BGP makes routing
decisions based on path, network policies, and/or rule sets.

Description
Specifies the VRRP's authentication type. Options to choose from are None, Simple
and IP.
None - Selecting this parameter indicates that VRRP protocol exchanges will not be
authenticated.
Simple - Selecting this parameter will require the user to set a simple password in the
Authentication 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.
IP - Selecting this parameter will require the user to set an IP for authentication in
comparing VRRP messages received by the router. If the two values are inconsistent,
the packet will be dropped.
Specifies the authentication data used in the Simple and IP authentication algorithm.
This entry must be consistent with all routers participating in the same IP interface.
Simple - Simple will require the user to enter an alphanumeric string of no more than
eight characters to identify VRRP packets received by a router.
IP - IP will require the user to enter an alphanumeric string of no more than sixteen
characters to identify VRRP packets received by a router.
