textauthentication type can be simple text
Example
This example configures the system to use simple text authentication when
exchanging protocol messages among VRRP routers for virtual router 1. It reverts to
no authentication when exchanging protocol messages among VRRP routers for
virtual router 2 on the configured interface Ethernet slot 7, port 0:
interface ethernet 7/0
ip vrrp 1 authentication type text
no ip vrrp 2 authentication type
Managing VRRP on the BSR
The following sections are used to manage VRRP on the BSR:
• Specifying Priority
• Pre-empting a Master
• Specifying Advertisement Interval
• Clearing Statistic Counters
Note: You must configure the same authentication type on all routers
associated with a virtual router. An Authentication mismatch does not prevent
a router from taking over as the designated master, however, it may cause
VRRP to work incorrectly. This can result in lack of communication between
virtual routers.
