– Specifies the type of authentication used. The authtype
must be consistent with all routers participating within the VRRP
group. The user may choose between:

– Entering this parameter indicates that VRRP protocol
exchanges will not be authenticated.
•
simple authdata <string 8>
- This parameter, along with an
alphanumeric string of no more than eight characters, to set a
simple password for comparing VRRP message packets
received by a router. If the two passwords are not exactly the
same, the packet will be dropped.
•
ip authdata <string 16>
- This parameter will require the user to
set an alphanumeric authentication string of no more than 16
characters to generate a MD5 message digest for
authentication in comparing VRRP messages received by the
router. If the two values are inconsistent, the packet will be
dropped.
