Command Manual – HAH3C S7500E Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 VRRP Configuration Commands1-7z You may configure different authentication types and authentication keys for thestandby groups on an interface. However, the members of the same standbygroup must use the same authentication mode and authentication key.Examples# Set the authentication mode and authentication key for VRRP standby group 1 oninterface VLAN-interface 2 to send and receive VRRP packets. system-view[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 10.1.1.1[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] vrrp vrid 1 authentication-mode simple Sysname1.1.5 vrrp methodSyntaxvrrp method { real-mac | virtual-mac }undo vrrp methodViewSystem viewParametersreal-mac: Associates the real MAC address of the interface with the virtual IP addressof the standby group.virtual-mac: Associates the virtual MAC address of the switch with the virtual IPaddress of the standby group.DescriptionUse the vrrp method command to set the mappings between the virtual IP addressesand the MAC addresses of the standby groups.Use the undo vrrp method command to restore the default mapping.By default, the virtual MAC address of the standby group is associated with the virtualIP address.You must configure the mapping between the virtual IP address and the MAC addressbefore configuring a standby group. Otherwise, your configuration will fail.Examples# Associate the virtual IP address of the standby group with the real MAC address ofthe routing interface. system-view[Sysname] vrrp method real-mac
