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 works in load balancing mode to make good use of network resources.
•
Configure a track entry on Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C respectively 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.
