Configure VBRP Load Balance Mode

Network Requirements

  • Device1 and Device2 belong to two VBRP groups at the same time; Device1 is Active in group1 and Standby in group2; Device2 is Standby in group1 and Active in group2.
  • PC1 forwards data via Device1 and PC2 forwards data via Device2, realizing the load balance.

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Configure VLAN and add the port to the corresponding VLAN.(Omitted)

Step 2: Configure the IP address of the interface.(Omitted)

Step 3: Create VBRP group1.

#Configure the virtual IP address of VBRP group 1 on Device1 as 10.1.1.10, enable the preemption function, and configure the priority as 110.

Device1#configure terminal
Device1(config)#interface vlan 2
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#standby 1 ip 10.1.1.10
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#standby 1 preempt
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#standby 1 priority 110

#Configure the virtual IP address of VBRP group1 on Device2 as 10.1.1.10 and enable the preemption function.

Device2#configure terminal
Device2(config)#interface vlan 2
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#standby 1 ip 10.1.1.10
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#standby 1 preempt

Step 4: Create VBRP group2.

#Configure the virtual IP address of VBRP group 2 on Device1 as 10.1.1.11, and enable the preemption function.

Device1(config)#interface vlan 2
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#standby 2 ip 10.1.1.11
Device1(config-if-vlan2)#standby 2 preempt

#Configure the virtual IP address of VBRP group 1 on Device2 as 10.1.1.11, enable the preemption function, and configure the priority as 120.

Device2(config)#interface vlan 2
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#standby 2 ip 10.1.1.11
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#standby 2 preempt
Device2(config-if-vlan2)#standby 2 priority 120

Step 5: Check the result.

#View the status of VBRP in group 1 and group 2 on Device1.

  Priority 120 (configured 120) 

We can see that Device1 serves as Active of VBRP group1 and Standby of VBRP group2. In contrast with Device1, Device2 serves as Active of VBRP group 2 and Standby of VBRP group 1. When one device fails, two PCs forward data via the other device. This realizes the load balance and backup for each other.
