to the string configured on this router. If the strings match, the
message is accepted. Otherwise, the packet is discarded.
- Plain text authentication does not provide any real security. It is
supported only to prevent a misconfigured router from
participating in HSRP.
Virtual IP – IP address of the virtual router, or secondary IP addresses
assigned to the current VLAN interface that are supported by the
HSRP group.
•Mode – Sets this entry as the virtual IP address for the HSRP group
(i.e., Primary), or as a secondary IP addresses assigned to the current
VLAN interface that is also supported by the HSRP group. (Range:
Primary, Secondary: Default: Primary)
Tracking Interface – Specifies an interface to track. The HSRP
priority of this router will be changed whenever the interface goes
down or comes back up by the corresponding tracking priority.
- You can specify up to 32 IP interfaces to be tracked by this
command.
- If you specify a VLAN interface that has not been configured with
an IP address, tracking will not affect the HSRP router priority.
(Tracking) Priority – Amount by which the HSRP router priority is
decremented (or incremented) when the interface goes down (or
comes back up). (Range: 1-255; Default: 10)
- If you configure multiple tracked interfaces, and also set the
interface priority, the effect on HSRP router priority is cumulative
when one or more interfaces go up or down. However, if you
configure multiple tracked interfaces, but do not set the interface
priority, HSRP router priority will only be changed by the default
interface priority value of 10; i.e., the effect is not cumulative.
Web – Click IP, HSRP, Group Configuration. Select the VLAN ID, enter
the HSRP group number, and click Add.
