Parameters

virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.

simple: Specifies the simple authentication mode.

cipher: Sets a ciphertext authentication key.

key: Sets the authentication key. This argument is case sensitive. If cipher is not specified, it must be a

plaintext string of 1 to 8 characters. If cipher is specified, it must be a ciphertext string of 1 to 41

characters.

Usage guidelines

For security purposes, all keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.

Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address

of the VRRP group.

You might configure different authentication types and authentication keys for the VRRP groups on an

interface. However, the members of the same VRRP group must use the same authentication mode and

authentication key.

Examples

# Set the authentication mode to simple and authentication key to Sysname for VRRP group 10 on

interface GigabitEthernet 0/1 to send and receive VRRP packets.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp ipv6 vrid 10 virtual-ip fe80::2 link-local

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp ipv6 vrid 10 authentication-mode simple Sysname
