Configuring GLBP on Cisco Router

Configuring GLBP on Cisco Router
BLR-OIMS-RTR01
Gi0/0
MPLS
Virtual IP address     10.1.2.1
Gi0/0
BLR-OIMS-RTR02
 


 


GLBP step-by-step configuration.

On R1:

BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config)#interface fa0/0
BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)#ip address 10.1.2.2 255.255.255.0
BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)#glbp 1 ip 10.1.2.1
BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)#glbp 1 priority 130
BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)#glbp 1 preempt
BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)#glbp 1 load-balancing round-robin

On R2:

BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config)#interface fa0/0
BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)#ip address 10.1.2.3 255.255.255.0
BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)#glbp 1 ip 10.1.2.1
BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)#glbp 1 load-balancing round-robin

Explanation of the configuration above:

The glbp group number here is 1
The Router1 is configured to be the AVG and it will act as the AVF for for the group and is responsible for the virtual IP address because it has a higher priority which is 130. 

The Router 2 is a member of the same GLBP group and is designated as the AVF should the AVG fail. R2 priority is default 100. 

When an ARP request to the virtual ip address arrives at R1, it will respond with two different MAC address according to round-robin method, as this case may be. 
Then, two clients’s (PC 1 and PC2) traffic will go through different routers. First, through R1 and the other will go through R2.

If router 1 becomes unavailable, client 1 does not lose access to CONNECTION because router 2 assumes responsibility for forwarding packets sent to the virtual MAC address of router 1 and for responding to packets sent to its own virtual MAC address. This will enable router 2 as the AVG for the group. Communication for the GLBP members will not be interrupted despite the failure of a router in the GLBP group.
