set protocols vrrp interface vrid simple-key

The set protocols vrrp interface vrid authentication simple-key command configures the authentication key in simple authentication mode for a VRRP group.

NOTE:

VRRP authentication is only supported by VRRPv2, which is not supported by VRRPv3.

Command Syntax

set protocols vrrp interface <interface-name> vrid <virtual-router-id> authentication simple-key <simple-key>

Parameter

Parameter	Description
interface <interface-name>	Specifies the Layer 3 interface name of VRRP device. The value could be the VLAN interface name, the routed interface or the sub-interface name. The value is a string.
vrid <virtual-router-id>	Specifies the VRID of a VRRP group. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 254.
authentication simple-key <simple-key>	Specifies the authentication key in simple authentication mode. The value is a string of 1 to 8 case-sensitive characters without spaces.

NOTE:

Devices in a VRRP group must be configured with the same authentication mode and authentication key; otherwise, the VRRP group cannot negotiate the Master and Backup states.
