Enabling a Virtual Router
To enable a virtual router on a configured interface, use the ip vrrp enable command
in Interface Configuration mode, as shown below. This brings up a specific VRRP
router on the interface when the router is enabled. The command brings the VRRP
router to either backup or master when the router is enabled, if at least one IP address
is configured for the virtual router. Use the no vrrp enable command to disable a
virtual router on a configured interface.
MOT(config-if)#ip vrrp <number> enable
where:
number is the VRID; valid values are 1 to 255.
Example
This example disables the configured virtual router 1 on the interface Ethernet slot 1,
port 0
interface ethernet 1/0
no ip vrrp 1 enable
Configuring Authentication Type
To specify the authentication type for the virtual router on the configured interface,
use the ip vrrp authentication type command in Interface Configuration mode, as
shown below. Use the no ip vrrp authenticate type command to remove the
specified type of authentication for the virtual router on the configured interface.
MOT(config-if)#ip vrrp <number> authentication type {text}
where:
number is the VRID; valid values are 1 to 255.
