You can use two or more VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)-enabled switches to provide a fully redundant VRRP configuration that supports load sharing on your network.
The topology for a load sharing example is shown in VRRP Load-sharing Configuration. Switch A is the IP address owner for VRRP router instance 1 and the backup for VRRP instance 2. Switch B is the IP address owner for VRRP router instance 2 and the backup for VRRP instance 1.
The configuration commands for switch A are as follows:
configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 192.168.1.3/24 enable ipforwarding vlan vlan1 create vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 priority 255 configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 add 192.168.1.3 create vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 2 configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 2 add 192.168.1.5 enable vrrp
The configuration commands for switch B are as follows:
configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 192.168.1.5/24 enable ipforwarding vlan vlan1 create vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 2 configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 2 priority 255 configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 2 add 192.168.1.5 create vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 add 192.168.1.3 enable vrrp
