The output shows that when the status of the track entry becomes Positive, Switch A is the master and
Switch B the backup.

VRRP Track Information:
Track Object : 1 State : Negative Switchover
The output shows that when BFD detects that Switch A fails, it notifies VRRP through the track module to
change the status of Switch B to master, without waiting for a period three times the advertisement
interval, so that a backup can quickly preempt as the master.
Configuring BFD for the VRRP master to monitor the uplinks
Network requirements
•
As shown in
, Switch A and Switch B belong to VRRP group 1, whose virtual IP address is
192.168.0.10.
•
The default gateway of the hosts in the LAN is 192.168.0.10.
•
When Switch A works normally, the hosts in the LAN access the external network through Switch A.
When Switch A detects that the uplink is down through BFD, it decreases its priority so that Switch
B can preempt as the master, ensuring that the hosts in the LAN can access the external network
through Switch B.
