simple: Simple text authentication.
md5: Authentication header (AH) authentication using the MD5 algorithm.
key: Authentication key. When simple authentication applies, the authentication key is
in clear text with a length of 1 to 8 characters. When md5 authentication applies, the
authentication key is in MD5 ciphertext and the length of the key depends on its input
format. If the key is input in clear text, its length is 1 to 8 characters, such as 1234567;
if the key is input in ciphertext, its length must be 24 characters, such as
_(TT8F]Y\5SQ=^Q`MAF4<1!!.
Description
Use the vrrp authentication-mode command to configure authentication mode and
authentication key for the VRRP standby groups on the interface.
Use the undo vrrp authentication-mode command to disable authentication in the
VRRP standby groups on the interface.
By default, authentication is disabled.
With this command, all standby groups on the interface share the same authentication
type and authentication key.
Note that the members of the same standby group must use the same authentication
mode and authentication key.
The authentication key is case sensitive.
Example
# Set the authentication mode and authentication key of all VRRP standby groups on
interface Ethernet 0/2/0.
