Setting Virtual Router Authentication
VRRP security provides three options, including simple text authentication, MD5 authentication, and no
authentication.
•
•
•
You can configure the key using the authentication option in the VRRP submode and distribute it using
the configuration file. The security parameter index (SPI) settings assigned in this option should be
unique for each VSAN.
All VRRP configurations must be duplicated.
Note
OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
Simple text authentication uses a unique, 1 to 8 character password that is used by all switches
participating in the same virtual router. This password should be different from other security
passwords.
MD5 authentication uses a unique, 16 character key that is shared by all switches participating in
the same virtual router. This secret key is shared by all switches in the same virtual router.
No authentication is the default option.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures a VSAN interface (VSAN 10).

Enables the higher priority backup virtual router to preempt
the lower priority master virtual router.
Note
This preemption does not apply to the primary IP
address.
Disables (default) the preempt option and allows the master
to keep its priority level.
Purpose
