VRRP MD5 authentication on IOS-XE

Hi all,

Would anybody know why IOS-XE does not appear to support MD5 authentication for VRRP?

Feature navigator has support for MD5 on IOS, but not XE.

It seems like such a step backwards, and means ASRs and the 43/4400 series boxes won't support it. 

The other reason why this is poor, is any IOS or other vendor devices which can support it, can’t interoperate with these model boxes, as all members of the group need to support the same authentication method.

I've tried VRRPv3 and that doesn't support it either.  Does anybody have any bright ideas?

 

These two commands seems to be missing on XE:

vrrp 1 authentication md5 key-string

or
vrrp 1 authentication md5 key-chain

 

Thanks, Neil
