Topology

Figure 5-1 VRRP topology

Scenario

R1 functions as the gateway for a LAN and an external network. R1 connects to R2

and R3 through S5, and R2, R3, R4, and R5 connect to a LAN through S1. VRRPv2
needs to be enabled on interfaces of R2 and R3 connecting to S1 to implement
first-hop redundancy. R2 is the master router and R3 is the backup router. No extra
configurations are required for switches. The switches only transparently forward
packets.

Tasks

Step 1 Perform basic configurations and configure IP addresses.

Step 2 Configure OSPF and static routes.

The loopback interface on R1 and connected interfaces on R1, R2, and R3 run in
OSPF area 0. Routes of interfaces on R2 and R3 connecting to S1 are advertised to
OSPF, but no OSPF neighbor relationships. The silent mode is therefore used.

To simulate PCs, R4 and R5 use default static routes pointing to 192.168.1.1 (VRRP
virtual IP address).

Enable R1 to learn routes to 192.168.1.0, and enable R2 and R3 to learn routes to

1.1.1.1.

R2 is selected as the master router and R3 as the backup router. The priorities of
master and slave routers are both 100. When R3 is started first, it becomes the
master router, which is not expected.

Configure the VRRP priority and verify the active/standby switchover.

Configure VRRP priorities on R2 and R3. A greater priority value indicates a higher
priority. Set VRRP priorities of R2 and R3 to 120 and 110, respectively.

The preceding output shows that priorities of R2 and R3 have been changed
successfully. By default, VRRP preemption is enabled. When the priority of R3 is
changed to be higher, an active/standby switchover will be triggered.

Test the connectivity between R4 and R1.

The preceding output shows that the virtual gateway works properly and can
forward data of the LAN where R4 is located to R1. Normally, the master router
forwards data, so traffic passes through R2. To verify the switching status, perform
the ping operation from R4 to R1 for a long time and shut down the interface of R2
connected to S1.

Configure VRRP to monitor the uplink.

The VRRP active/standby switchover is implemented by listening to Advertisement

packets. If the backup router cannot listen to messages of the master router or has a
higher priority, the backup router preempts to be the master router (no preemption
delay by default).

If the fault occurs on the uplink link, the active/standby switchover is not performed.
In this case, all Internet access traffic cannot be forwarded after reaching R2. VRRP is
enabled to monitor the uplink. When the uplink fails, R2 automatically reduces its
priority. R3 preempts to be the master router, and traffic is switched to the backup
router and backup uplink.

Before configuring VRRP to monitor the uplink, restore the link that is shut down.

Configure VRRP to monitor the uplink interface and set the value by which the

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES 162

priority decreases to 30. That is, when the link fails, the priority of R2 becomes 90,
which is lower than the priority of R3 (110).

R3 becomes the master router and traffic is successfully switched to R3.

Restore the uplink and priority of R2. R2 preempts to be the master router again.
During preemption, few packets are discarded on R4. This is because OSPF routes
are not converged rapidly. For details about route convergence acceleration, see the
OSPF experiment.

When the interface goes Up, the OSPF neighbor relationship needs to be
reestablished on the uplink interface of R2. If OSPF fast convergence is not
configured, data cannot be forwarded for several seconds. You are advised to set the
preemption delay to be longer than the OSPF convergence time during the
switchback.

Check the VRRP configurations again. You can see that the preemption delay has
been configured successfully.

Step 4 Configure load balancing of multiple VRRP groups.

Normally, the master device forwards all traffic, and the backup device is idle.

To implement dual-gateway load balancing, configure multiple VRRP groups.

Configure VRRP group 1 on R2 and R3, set the virtual IP address to 192.168.1.1, and
configure R2 as the master device. Configure VRRP group 2, set the virtual address
to 192.168.1.254, and configure R3 as the master device. Configure the default
gateway address pointing to 192.168.1.1 for R4 and the default gateway address
pointing to 192.168.1.254 for R5. Internet access traffic can be load balanced to two

Perform the tracert operation to check the gateways that process data destined for
the two default routes. You can see that data sent by R4 is forwarded by the master
device in VRRP group 1 and data sent by R5 is forwarded by the master device in
VRRP group 2.
