is higher than that of the current Master switch. Accordingly, the former Master switch 

will become the Backup switch.  

Together with preemption settings, a delay can also be set. In this way, a Backup will 

wait for a period of time before becoming a Master. In an unstable network if the Backup 

switch has not received the packets from the Master switch punctually, it will become 

the Master switch. However, the failure of Backup to receive the packets may be due to 

network congestion, instead of the malfunction of the Master switch. In this case, the 

Backup will receive the packet after a while. The delay settings can thereby avoid the 

frequent status changing.  

Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.

configure a period of delay.

The delay ranges from 0 to 255, measured in seconds. By default, the preemption 

mode is preemption with a delay of 0 second. 

 

 

  Note: 

If preemption mode is cancelled, the delay time will automatically become 0 second. 

 

1.2.7  Configuring Authentication Type and Authentication Key 

VRRP provides following authentication types:  

z

 

simple

: Simple character authentication 

z

 

md5

: MD5 authentication 

In a network under possible security threat, the authentication type can be set to 

simple

. Then the switch will add the authentication key into the VRRP packets before 

transmitting it. The receiver will compare the authentication key of the packet with the 

locally configured one. If they are the same, the packet will be taken as a true and legal 

one. Otherwise it will be regarded as an illegal packet to be discarded. In this case, an 

authentication key not exceeding 8 characters should be configured. 

In a totally unsafe network, the authentication type can be set to 

md5

. The switch will 

use the authentication type and MD5 algorithm provided by the Authentication Header
