Add Authentication in VRRP configuration
A router will ignore incoming VRRP packets from routers that do not have the same authentication configuration for a VRRP group. VRRP commonly has three authentication schemes:
- No authentication
- Plain text authentication
- MD5 authentication
VRRP packets will be rejected in any of the following cases:
- The authentication schemes differ on the router and in the incoming packet.
- MD5 digests differ on the router and in the incoming packet.
- Text authentication strings differ on the router and in the incoming packet.
