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
FastEthernet0/1 - Group 10
State is Active
2 state changes, last state change 00:05:36
Virtual IP address is 10.1.1.1
Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec
Next hello sent in 2.748 secs
Redirect time 600 sec, forwarder time-out 14400 sec
Preemption enabled, min delay 0 sec
Active is local
Standby is unknown
Priority 100 (default)
Weighting 100 (default 100), thresholds: lower 1, upper 100
Load balancing: round-robin
There are 2 forwarders (2 active)
