A router can be in multiple standby groups and hold a different priority in different
group.
In Figure 588, three standby groups are present:
Standby group 1: Router A is the master; Router B and Router C are the
■
backups.
Standby group 2: Router B is the master; Router A and Router C are the
■
backups.
Standby group 3: Router C is the master; Router A and Router B are the
■
backups.
For load balancing among Router A, Router B, and Router C, hosts on the LAN
need to be configured to use standby group 1, 2, and 3 as the default gateways
respectively. When configuring VRRP priorities, ensure that each router holds such
a priority in each standby group that it will take the expected role in the group.
