GLBP Configuration

The document outlines the GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol) configuration for two routers, R1 and R2, with R1 set as the active router and R2 as the backup. R1 has a higher priority and weight for traffic handling, while R2 has default settings to take over if R1 fails. It also includes configuration details for a PC and verification commands to test the failover process.

R1 Configuration (Active)

hostname R1
interface g0/0
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
glbp 1 ip 192.168.1.1
glbp 1 priority 110
glbp 1 preempt
glbp 1 ip 192.168.1.1: Configures the virtual IP (VIP) for GLBP group 1.
priority 110: Sets a higher priority for R1 (default is 100), making it the primary
active router.
preempt: Ensures R1 regains the role of active router if it comes back online.
weighting 100: Configures the weight for load balancing (higher weight = more
traffic).
glbp 1 weighting 100
no shutdown

R2 Configuration (Backup)
hostname R2
interface g0/0
ip address 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0
glbp 1 ip 192.168.1.1
glbp 1 priority 100
glbp 1 preempt
priority 100: Default priority, so R2 will be the backup if R1 is available.
weighting 50: Low weight, meaning R2 will receive less traffic than R1 during load
balancing.
glbp 1 weighting 50
no shutdown

Configuration on PC
IP Address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (VIP)
Verification commands/ On R1 and R2
show glbp

On PC1
ping 192.168.1.1
Test the failover by shutting down R1’s interface and observing R2 take over the
traffic
R1(config)# interface g0/0
R1(config-if)# shutdown
Once R1's interface is down, R2 should take over as the Active router.
