Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP)
TABLE 55
VSRP parameters
Parameter
Description
Default
See page...
Protocol
VSRP state
NOTE: On a Layer 3 Switch, you must disable VSRP to
use VRRP-E or VRRP.
Enabled
Virtual Router ID
(VRID)
The ID of the virtual switch you are creating by
configuring multiple devices as redundant links. You
must configure the same VRID on each device that
you want to use to back up the links.
None
Timer scale
The value used by the software to calculate all VSRP
timers. Increasing the timer scale value decreases
the length of all the VSRP timers equally, without
changing the ratio of one timer to another.

Interface parameters
Authentication
type
The type of authentication the VSRP devices use to
validate VSRP packets. On Layer 3 Switches, the
authentication type must match the authentication
type the VRID 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.
NOTE: MD5 is not supported.
No authentication
VSRP-Aware Security Parameters
VSRP-Aware
Authentication
type
The type of authentication the VSRP-aware devices
will use on a VSRP backup switch:
•
No authentication – The device does not accept
incoming packets that have authentication
strings.
•
Simple – The device uses a simple text-string as
the authentication string for accepting incoming
packets.
Not configured
VRID parameters
VSRP device
type
Whether the device is a VSRP backup for the VRID.
All VSRP devices for a given VRID are backups.
Not configured
VSRP ports
The ports in the VRID VLAN that you want to use as
VRID interfaces. You can selectively exclude
individual ports from VSRP while allowing them to
remain in the VLAN.
All ports in the VRID
VLAN
