When authentication is enabled, FTOS includes the password in its VRRP transmission, and the receiving router uses that password to verify the transmission. Note: All virtual routers in the VRRP group must be configured the same: authentication must be enabled with the same password or authentication is disabled. Configure simple authentication with the following command in the VRRP mode: Task Configure a simple text password.
