Purpose
To configure the authentication type for the VRRP routers of an IP
interface.
Syntax

<string 8> | ip authdata <string 16>]
Description
This command is used to set the authentication type for the VRRP
routers of an IP interface.
Parameters
ipif <ipif_name 12>
- Enter the name of a previously configured IP
interface for which to configure the VRRP entry. This IP interface must
be assigned to a VLAN on the Switch.
authtype
– Specifies the type of authentication used. The authtype
must be consistent with all routers participating within the VRRP
group. The user may choose between:
•
none
– 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.
