Configure VRRP Authentication

Simple authentication of VRRP packets ensures that only trusted routers participate in VRRP processes.
When you enable authentication, FTOS includes the password in its VRRP transmission, and the receiving
router uses that password to verify the transmission.
Note: You must configure all virtual routers in the VRRP group at the same: authentication must be
enabled with the same password or authentication is disabled.
