Parameter advertise authentication description holdtime ip address 2235| vrrp Description Specifies the time, in seconds, between successive VRRP advertisements sent by the current master. Best practices are to use the default value. Range 1-60 seconds Default 1 second (1s=1000m s) Configure an optional password 8 - of up to eight characters to be characters used to authenticate VRRP peers in their advertisements. The password must be the same on both members of the redundant pair. The password is sent in plaintext and therefore should not be treated as a security measure. Rather, the purpose of the password is to guard against misconfigurations in the event that other VRRP devices exist on the same network. Note: This parameter is supported only for IPv4. Configure an optional text string 1-80 - to describe the VRRP instance. characters The VRRP virtual router does not begin listening to advertisements until the holdtime expires. If your deployment includes a VRRP master with preemption disabled and an uplink switch is running RSTP, a higher value will prevent the VRRP master from regaining the master state after it reboots. 30-120 seconds. 45 seconds. Configure the virtual IP address - - that will be owned by the elected VRRP master. Use the same IP address on each member of the redundant pair. This IP address will be redundant - it will be active on the VRRP master, and will become active on the VRRP backup in the event that the VRRP master fails.
