Authentication
Simple authentication of VRRP packets ensures that only trusted routers participate in VRRP processes. When you enable
authentication, OS10 includes the password in its VRRP transmission. The receiving router uses that password to verify the
transmission.
You must configure all virtual routers in the VRRP group with the same password. You must enable authentication with the same
password or authentication is disabled. Authentication for VRRPv3 is not supported.
1. Create a virtual router for the interface with the VRRP identifier in INTERFACE mode, from 1 to 255.
vrrp-group vrrp-id
2. Configure a simple text password in INTERFACE-VRRP mode.
authentication-type simple—text text
simple—text text — Enter the keyword and a simple text password.
NOTE:
The system does not support a simple text password that begins with the ! or # character. Ensure that the
password does not begin with either of these characters.
Configure VRRP authentication
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/5
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/5)# vrrp-group 250
OS10(conf-eth1/1/5-vrid-250)# authentication simple-text eureka
Verify VRRP authentication configuration
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# vrrp-group 1
OS10(conf-eth1/1/1-vrid-1)# authentication simple-text dell
Disable preempt
Prevent the Backup router with the higher priority from becoming the master router by disabling the preemption process. The
preempt command is enabled by default. The command forces the system to change the master router if another router with a
higher priority comes online.
