NOTE:
The password must be the same for every router in the Virtual Router, that is, for
every router in the LAN with the same VRID. For example, if a VRRP interface in
routers A, B, and C has the VRID 7, routers A, B, and C must all specify the same
password for VRID 7.
NOTE:
This command takes effect immediately, but you must save the change if it is to
persist after you restart the interface or reboot the router.
