| + | #Redirect [[GLBP]] |
| − | | |
| − | :The purpose of GLBP is to ensure network connectivity in case of Router or access circuit failure. GLBP automatically Load balances the load from the IP traffic sources.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that attempts to overcome the limitations of existing redundant router protocols by adding basic load balancing functionality.

| − | = Other high availability protocols =
| |
| − | *HSRP [[Hot Standby Router Protocol]]
| |
| − | *VRRP [[Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | = GLBP functions =
| |
| − | *Active virtual gateway (AVG): Members of a GLBP group elect one gateway to be the AVG for that group. Other group members provide backup for the AVG if the AVG becomes unavailable. The AVG assigns a virtual MAC address to each member of the group.
| |
| − | *Active virtual forwarder (AVF): Each gateway assumes responsibility for forwarding packets sent to the virtual MAC address assigned to it by the AVG. These gateways are known as AVFs for their virtual MAC address.
| |
| − | *Communication: GLBP members communicate with each other using hello messages sent every 3 seconds to the multicast address 224.0.0.102, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 3222.
| |
| − | | |
| − | = GLBP features =
| |
| − | *Load sharing: Traffic from LAN clients can be shared by multiple routers.
| |
| − | *Multiple virtual routers: Up to 1,024 virtual routers (GLBP groups) can be on each physical interface of a router, and there can be up to four virtual forwarders per group.
| |
| − | *Preemption: You can preempt an AVG with a higher priority backup virtual gateway. Forwarder preemption works in a similar way, except that it uses weighting instead of priority and is enabled by default.
| |
| − | *Efficient resource utilization: Any router in a group can serve as a backup, which eliminates the need for a dedicated backup router because all available routers can support network traffic.

| − | == GLBP Roles ==
| |
| − | === AVG - Active Virtual Gateway ===
| |
| − | The Router with the highest priority is chosen as the AVG. The AVG has the responsebility of assigning MAC addresses to the AVF Routers.
| |
| − | === AVF - Active Virtual Forwarder ===
| |
| − | The AVF Routers Route traffic from the connected clients. Each AVF is assigned its own MAC-Address. The MAC-Address is assigned from the AVG.
| |
| − | === Timers ===
| |
| − | Default the hello time for GLBP is 3 seconds and holdtime is 10 seconds. In the example hello time is set to 0.25 second and holdtime is 0.7 second.
