Configuring Additional Vrrp And Vrrpe Parameters; Authentication Type - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

Configuring additional VRRP and VRRPE parameters

You can modify the following VRRP and VRRPE parameters on each individual virtual router. These
parameters apply to both protocols:
•
•
•
•
•

Refer to
defaults.

Authentication type

If the interfaces on which you configure the virtual router use authentication, the VRRP or VRRPE
packets on those interfaces also must use the same authentication. Brocade's implementation of
VRRP and VRRPE supports the following authentication types:
•
•
To configure the interface on Router1 for simple-password authentication using the password
"ourpword", enter the following commands.
Configuring router 1
Router1(config)# inter e 1/6
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp auth-type simple-text-auth ourpword
Configuring router 2
Router2(config)# inter e 1/5
Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ip vrrp auth-type simple-text-auth ourpword
Syntax: ip vrrp auth-type no-auth | simple-text-auth <auth-data>
The auth-type no-auth parameter indicates that the virtual router and the interface it is configured
on do not use authentication.

"VRRP and VRRPE parameters"
No authentication – The interfaces do not use authentication. This is the default for VRRP and
VRRPE.
Simple – The interfaces use a simple text-string as a password in packets sent on the
interface. If the interfaces use simple password authentication, the virtual router configured
on the interfaces must use the same authentication type and the same password.
