Table 9-30. Add VRRP Virtual Router Dialog Box Parameters
Definition
Enter the Authentication Key in this field. If the Authentication
Type was set to None, then a password will not be used in the
VRRP election process regardless if one is entered in this field. If
the Authentication Type was set to Simple, then the password
entered here will be used to verify correct configuration of the
corresponding virtual routers involved in the VRRP election
process. The password must be an alphanumeric string from 0 - 8
characters and is case-sensitive. Leaving this field blank is also a
valid password.
If a blank field password is desired, set the Authentication Type to
None and leave the Authentication field blank. After the virtual
router is created, select and modify it and set the Authentication
Type to simple.
A password may also be entered without selecting Simple in the
Authentication Type field. In this case, the password will be stored
but not used until the Authentication Type is set to Simple.
This field is blank by default.
Enable or Disable Address Owner Override using the drop-down
menu. Enabling Address Owner Override allows the VIP to reply
to ICMP requests if the router is not the IP Address owner of the
virtual router's IP Address (the VIP and IP Address are different).
Address Owner Override helps to ensure connectivity and
availability of all virtual routers.
* Note: This parameter is not defined in the VRRP RFC
2338.
The default value is Disable
Enable or disable Preempt Mode using the drop-down menu.
Preempt Mode will allow a Backup virtual router with a higher
Priority to preempt a Master virtual router with a lower Priority.
Note that the router that owns the IP Address associated with the
virtual router will always preempt regardless if this is enabled or
disabled. To disable this feature, set this field to False.
The default value is True.
