Advertisement
Timer Enter the value of the Advertisement Interval in seconds.
This is the time interval that the router will send out
advertisements if it is the Master. The range is from 1 -
255 seconds. The Advertisement Interval also defines the
time that a Backup will wait until becoming Master. A
Backup will become Master if it does not receive an
advertisement in approximately three times the
Advertisement Interval value. An Advertisement Interval
will allow for the fastest fail over time (approximately
three seconds).
The default value is 1.
Authorization
Type Select the Authentication Type for this virtual router. If
None is selected, then no Authentication Key will be used.
If Simple is selected, then the virtual router will employ
Simple Text Password authentication and use the
password in the Authentication Key field (described
below).
The default value is None.
Authorization Key Enter the Authentication Key in this field. If the
Authentication Type was set to None, then a password will
not be used in the VRRP election process regardless if one
is entered in this field. If the Authentication Type was set
to Simple, then the password entered here will be used to
verify correct configuration of the corresponding virtual
routers involved in the VRRP election process. The
password must be an alphanumeric string from 0 - 8
characters and is case-sensitive. Leaving this field blank is
also a valid password.
If a blank field password is desired, set the Authentication
Type to None and leave the Authentication field blank.
After the virtual router is created, select and modify it and
set the Authentication Type to simple.
A password may also be entered without selecting Simple
in the Authentication Type field. In this case, the password
will be stored but not used until the Authentication Type is
set to Simple.
This field is blank by default.
