vlan authentication md 5 key

Hi Experts,
in a running cisco switch 3560G I have to implement a vlan.
But I don't know for what is this command and what kind of key is it ?
What kind of passwort is needed or is it just a default auth ?

interface Vlan175
 description Management VLAN
 ip address 10.10.175.252 255.255.255.0
 standby 175 ip 10.10.175.254
 standby 175 priority 90
 standby 175 preempt
 standby 175 authentication md5 key-string

Can you expalin me the commands:
 standby 175 ip 10.10.175.254
 standby 175 priority 90
 standby 175 preempt
 standby 175 authentication md5 key-string
