TABLE 103 VRRP and VRRP-E parameters (continued)
Parameter Description Default
protocol does not activate the Layer 3 switch for
VRRP or VRRP-E. You must activate the switch
as a VRRP or VRRP-E router after you congure
the VRRP or VRRP-E parameters.
Virtual Router ID (VRID) The ID of the virtual router you are creating by
conguring multiple routers to back up an IP
interface. You must congure the same VRID on
each router that you want to use to back up the
address.
None
Virtual Router IP address This is the address you are backing up.
• VRRP - The virtual router IP address
must be a real IP address congured
on the VRID interface on one of the
VRRP routers. This router is the IP
address Owner and is the default
Master.
• VRRP-E - The virtual router IP
address must be in the same subnet
as a real IP address congured on the
VRRP-E interface, but cannot be the
same as a real IP address congured
on the interface.
None
VRID MAC address The source MAC address in VRRP or VRRP-E
packets sent from the VRID interface, and the
destination for packets sent to the VRID:
• VRRP - A virtual MAC address
dened as 00-00-5E-00-01-vrid for
IPv4 VRRP, and 00-00-5E-00-02-
vrid for VRRP v3. The Master owns
the virtual MAC address.
• VRRP-E - A virtual MAC address
dened as 02-E0-52- hash-value -
vrid for IPv4 VRRP-E and IPv6
VRRP-E, where hash-value is a two-
octet hashed value for the IP address
and vrid is the ID of the virtual router.
Not congurable
Authentication type The type of authentication the VRRP or VRRP-E
interfaces use to validate VRRP or VRRP-E
packets.
• No authentication - The interfaces do
not use authentication. This is the
VRRP default.
• Simple - The interface uses a simple
text-string as a password in packets
sent on the interface. If the interface
uses simple password authentication,
the VRID congured on the interface
must use the same authentication
type and the same password.
• HMAC-MD5-96 (VRRP-E only) -
The interface uses HMAC-MD5-96
authentication for VRRP-E packets.
No authentication
