VRRP and VRRP-E parameters
Virtual Router IP
address
This is the address you are backing up.
No default.
•
VRRP – The virtual router IP address must be a
real IP address configured on the VRID interface
on one of the VRRP routers. This router is the IP
address Owner and is the default Master.
•
VRRP-E – The virtual router IP address must be
in the same subnet as a real IP address
configured on the VRRP-E interface, but cannot
be the same as a real IP address configured on
the interface.
None
VRID MAC
address
The source MAC address in VRRP or VRRP-E packets
sent from the VRID interface, and the destination for
packets sent to the VRID.
•
VRRP – A virtual MAC address defined as
00-00-00-00-01-<vrid> for IPv4 VRRP and
00-00-00-00-02-<vrid> for IPv6 VRRP. The
Master owns the Virtual MAC address.
•
VRRP-E – A virtual MAC address defined as
02-E0-52-<hash-value>-<vrid> for IPv4 VRRP-E
and IPv6 VRRP-E, where <hash-value> is a
two-octet hashed value for the IP address and
<vrid> is the
ID of the virtual router
.
Not configurable
Authentication
type
The type of authentication the VRRP or VRRP-E
routers use to validate VRRP or VRRP-E packets. The
authentication type must match the authentication
type the VRID’s port uses with other routing protocols
such as OSPF:
•
No authentication – The interfaces do not use
authentication. This is the VRRP default.
•
Simple – The interface uses a simple text-string
as a password in packets sent on the interface. If
the interface uses simple password
authentication, the VRID configured on the
interface must use the same authentication type
and the same password.
•
MD5 – This method of authentication ensures
the packet is authentic and cannot be modified
in transit.
NOTE: MD5 is not supported by VRRP.
Authentication is not supported by VRRP v3.
No authentication
Router type
Whether the router is an Owner or a Backup:
•
Owner (VRRP only) – The router on which the real
IP address used by the VRID is configured.
•
Backup – Routers that can provide routing
services for the VRID but do not have a real IP
address matching the VRID.
VRRP – The Owner is
always the router that
has the real IP address
used by the VRID. All
other routers for the
VRID are Backups.
VRRP-E – All routers for
the VRID are Backups.
