17
• Backup priority
• Suppression of RIP advertisements on Backup routes for the backed up interface
• Hello interval
• Dead interval
• Backup Hello messages and message timer (Backup advertisement)
• Track por t
• Track priority
• Backup preempt mode
• Master Router Abdication and Reinstatement
Refer to “VRRP and VRRPE parameters” on page 458 for a summary of the parameters and their
defaults.
Authentication type
If the interfaces on which you configure the virtual router use authentication, the VRRP or VRRPE
packets on those interfaces also must use the same authentication. Brocade’s implementation of
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 virtual router configured
on the interfaces must use the same authentication type and the same password.
To configure the interface on Router1 for simple-password authentication using the password
“ourpword”, enter the following commands.
Configuring router 1
Router1(config)# inter e 1/6
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp auth-type simple-text-auth ourpword
Configuring router 2
Router2(config)# inter e 1/5
Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ip vrrp auth-type simple-text-auth ourpword
Syntax: ip vrrp auth-type no-auth | simple-text-auth <auth-data>
The auth-type no-auth parameter indicates that the virtual router and the interface it is configured
on do not use authentication.
The auth-type simple-text-auth <auth-data> parameter indicates that the virtual router 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 virtual router are configured for simple password authentication and use the same
password.
