Configuring additional VRRP and VRRPE parameters
24
• Backup Hello messages and message timer (Backup advertisement)
• Track port
• Track priority
• Backup preempt mode
• Timer scale
• VRRP-E slow start timer
For information about the fields, see the parameter descriptions in the following sections.
Refer to “VRRP and VRRPE parameters” on page 720 for a summary of the parameters and their
defaults.
Authentication type
If the interfaces on which you configure the VRID use authentication, the VRRP or VRRPE packets
on those interfaces also must use the same authentication. The VRRP and VRRPE supports the
following authentication types:
• 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 VRID configured on the
interfaces must use the same authentication type and the same password.
To configure the VRID interface on Router1 for simple-password authentication using the password
“ourpword”, enter the following commands.
Configuring Router 1
Router1(config)# inter e 6
Router1(config-if-6)# ip vrrp auth-type simple-text-auth ourpword
Configuring Router 2
Router2(config)# inter e 5
Router2(config-if-5)# ip vrrp auth-type simple-text-auth ourpword
VRRP syntax
Syntax: ip vrrp auth-type no-auth | simple-text-auth <auth-data>
The auth-type no-auth parameter indicates that the VRID and the interface it is configured on do
not use authentication.
The auth-type simple-text-auth <auth-data> parameter indicates that the VRID and the interface it
is configured on use a simple text password for authentication. The <auth-data> parameter is the
password. If you use this parameter, make sure all interfaces on all the routers supporting this
VRID are configured for simple password authentication and use the same password.
VRRPE syntax
Syntax: ip vrrp-extended auth-type no-auth | simple-text-auth <auth-data>
The parameter values are the same as for VRRP.
