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 configure
the VRRP or VRRP-E parameters.
Virtual Router ID (VRID) The ID of the virtual router you are creating by
configuring multiple routers to back up an IP
interface. You must configure 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 configured
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 configured on the
VRRP-E interface, but cannot be the
same as a real IP address configured
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
defined 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
defined 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 configurable
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 configured 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
