Active
Active router/VG

Standby
Backup router/VG

Not the active router/VG

standby 1 preempt
VRRP Interface States
standby 1 authentication md5 key-string <password>

Master
Acting as the virtual router

Backup
All non-master routers
VRRP Configuration
GLBP Roles
interface FastEthernet0/0
Active Virtual Gateway (AVG)
ip address 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.0
Answers for the virtual router and assigns
vrrp 1 ip 10.0.1.1
virtual MAC addresses to group members
vrrp 1 timers {advertise <hello> | learn}
vrrp 1 priority <priority>
Active Virtual Forwarder (AVF)
vrrp 1 preempt
All routers which forward traffic for the group
vrrp 1 authentication md5 key-string <password>
vrrp 1 track <object> decrement <value>
GLBP Load Balancing
Round-Robin (default)
GLBP Configuration
The AVG answers host ARP requests for the
virtual router with the next router in the cycle
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.0
Host-Dependent
glbp 1 ip 10.0.1.1
Round-robin cycling is used while a consistent
glbp 1 timers <hello> <dead>
AVF is maintained for each host
glbp 1 timers redirect <redirect> <time-out>
Weighted
glbp 1 priority <priority>
glbp 1 preempt
Determines the proportionate share of hosts
glbp 1 forwarder preempt
handled by each AVF
glbp 1 authentication md5 key-string <password>
glbp 1 load-balancing <method>
Troubleshooting
glbp 1 weighting <weight> lower <lower> upper <upper>
