GLBP

Gateway Load Balance Protocol is cisco proprietary protocol which gives a very efficient solution such as HSRP in addition to load balancing capability within a single GLBP group.

GLBP Operation
Active Virtual Gateway (AVG): response to ARP requests from hosts and assigns virtual MAC address to members of the GLBP group

Active Virtual Forwarder (AVF): A member of a GLBP group that discovers an Active Virtual Gateway AVG based on Hello messages, and learns its virtual MAC address from that AVG

Configure GLBP
glbp                    Gateway Load Balancing Protocol interface commands

R1(config-if)#glbp 10 ip 10.1.1.1
R1(config-if)#glbp 10 priority 110

R2#show glbp
