Normally, Switch A functions as the gateway, but when VLAN 3 interface on Switch A
goes down, its priority will be reduced by 30, lower than that of Switch B so that
Switch B will preempt the master for gateway services instead.
When VLAN 3 interface recovers, switch A will resume its gateway function as the
master.
Multiple-VRRP Backup
Group Configuration
Example
Network requirements
A switch can function as backup switches of multiple backup groups.
Multiple-backup group configuration can implement load balancing. For example,
Switch A operates as the master switch of backup group 1 and a backup switch in
backup group 2. Similarly, Switch B operates as the master switch of backup group 2
and a backup switch in backup group 1. Some hosts in the network take virtual router
1 as the gateway, while others take virtual router 2 as the gateway. In this way, both
load balancing and mutual backup are implemented.
