Vrrp Load Balancing Mode Configuration Example - HP 6125G Configuration Manual

The output shows that in VRRP group 1 Switch A is the master, Switch B is the backup and hosts
with the default gateway of 1::10/64 accesses the Internet through Switch A; in VRRP group 2
Switch A is the backup, Switch B is the master and hosts with the default gateway of 2::10/64
accesses the Internet through Switch B.

VRRP load balancing mode configuration example

Network requirements
Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C belong to VRRP group 1 with the virtual IPv6 addresses of
•
FE80::10 and 1::10.
Hosts on network segment 1::/64 learn 1::10 as their default gateway through RA messages sent by
•
the switches. Use the VRRP group to make sure that when a gateway (Switch A, Switch B, or Switch
C) fails, the hosts on the LAN can access the external network through another gateway.
• VRRP group 1 is operating in load balancing mode to make good use of network resources.
Configure a track entry on Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C to monitor their own VLAN-interface
•
3. When the interface on Switch A, Switch B, or Switch C fails, the weight of the corresponding
switch decreases so that another switch with a higher weight can take over.
