## Synopsis

- Manages VRRP interface attributes on HUAWEI CloudEngine devices.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
admin_flowdown boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Disable the flowdown function for service VRRP.
admin_ignore_if_down boolean | Choices: no ← yes | mVRRP ignores an interface Down event.
admin_interface - |  | Tracked mVRRP interface name. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
admin_vrid - |  | Tracked mVRRP ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255.
advertise_interval - |  | Configured interval between sending advertisements, in milliseconds. Only the master router sends VRRP advertisements. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.
auth_key - |  | This object is set based on the authentication type. When noAuthentication is specified, the value is empty. When simpleTextPassword or md5Authentication is specified, the value is a string of 1 to 8 characters in plaintext and displayed as a blank text for security.
auth_mode string | Choices: simple md5 none | Authentication type used for VRRP packet exchanges between virtual routers. The values are noAuthentication, simpleTextPassword, md5Authentication. The default value is noAuthentication.
fast_resume string | Choices: enable disable | mVRRP's fast resume mode.
gratuitous_arp_interval - |  | Interval at which gratuitous ARP packets are sent, in seconds. The value ranges from 30 to 1200.The default value is 300.
holding_multiplier - |  | The configured holdMultiplier.The value is an integer ranging from 3 to 10. The default value is 3.
interface - |  | Name of an interface. The value is a string of 1 to 63 characters.
is_plain boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Select the display mode of an authentication key. By default, an authentication key is displayed in ciphertext.
preempt_timer_delay - |  | Preemption delay. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3600. The default value is 0.
priority - |  | Configured VRRP priority. The value ranges from 1 to 254. The default value is 100. A larger value indicates a higher priority.
recover_delay - |  | Delay in recovering after an interface goes Up. The delay is used for interface flapping suppression. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 3600. The default value is 0 seconds.
state string | Choices: present ← absent | Specify desired state of the resource.
version string | Choices: v2 v3 | VRRP version. The default version is v2.
virtual_ip - |  | Virtual IP address. The value is a string of 0 to 255 characters.
vrid - | Default: "present" | VRRP backup group ID. The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 255.
vrrp_type string | Choices: normal member admin | Type of a VRRP backup group.

## Notes

Note

- This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
- Recommended connection is `netconf`.
- This module also works with `local` connections for legacy playbooks.
