What is vrrpInstanceAuthType?

The authentication method this VRRP instance uses to validate advertisements from its peers: none, a shared password, or AH (IPsec Authentication Header). Admins configure this to prevent a rogue host on the same VLAN from injecting VRRP advertisements and stealing the virtual IP.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> KEEPALIVED-MIB::vrrpInstanceAuthType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> KEEPALIVED-MIB::vrrpInstanceAuthType.1
