Configuring IP Routing
Advertisement
Timer
Enter the value of the Advertisement Interval in seconds. This is
the time interval that the router will send out advertisements if it
is the Master. The range is from 1 - 255 seconds. The
Advertisement Interval also defines the time that a Backup will
wait until becoming Master. A Backup will become Master if it
does not receive an advertisement in approximately three times
the Advertisement Interval value. An Advertisement Interval will
allow for the fastest fail over time (approximately three seconds).
The default value is 1.
Authorization
Type
Select the Authentication Type for this virtual router. If None is
selected, then no Authentication Key will be used. If Simple is
selected, then the virtual router will employ Simple Text Password
authentication and use the password in the Authentication Key
field (described below).
The default value is None.
Authorization
Key
Enter the Authentication Key in this field. If the Authentication
Type was set to None, then a password will not be used in the
VRRP election process regardless if one is entered in this field. If
the Authentication Type was set to Simple, then the password
entered here will be used to verify correct configuration of the
corresponding virtual routers involved in the VRRP election
process. The password must be an alphanumeric string from 0 - 8
characters and is case-sensitive. Leaving this field blank is also a
valid password.
If a blank field password is desired, set the Authentication Type to
None and leave the Authentication field blank. After the virtual
router is created, select and modify it and set the Authentication
Type to simple.
A password may also be entered without selecting Simple in the
Authentication Type field. In this case, the password will be stored
but not used until the Authentication Type is set to Simple.
This field is blank by default.
