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 Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > VRRP > VRRP Authentication
Settings.
To configure the authentication for a pre-created interface, click its hyperlinked name, revealing the following window to
configure:
Displays the current state of the router. Up will be displayed if the virtual router is
enabled and Down, if the virtual router is disabled.
Displays the priority of the virtual router. A higher priority will increase the probability
that this router will become the Master router of the group. A lower priority will
increase the probability that this router will become the backup router. The lower the
number, the higher the priority.
Displays the IP address of the Master router for the VRRP function.
Displays the critical IP address of the VRRP function. This address will judge if a
virtual router is qualified to be a master router.
Displays the status of the Critical IP address. May be enabled or disabled.
Displays the time interval, in seconds, which VRRP messages are sent out to the
network.
Displays the mode for determining the behavior of backup routers set on this VRRP
interface. True will denote that this will be the backup router, if the routers priority is
set higher than the master router. False will disable the backup router from becoming
the master router.
Displays the time, in minutes, since the virtual router has been initialized
