Background / Scenario

Although HSRP and VRRP provide gateway resiliency for the standby members of the redundancy group, the upstream bandwidth is not used while the device is in standby mode. Only the active router for HSRP and the master for VRRP groups forward traffic for the virtual MAC. Resources associated with the standby router are not fully utilized. Some load balancing can be accomplished with these protocols through the creation of multiple groups and through the assignment of multiple default gateways, but this configuration creates an administrative burden. Previous labs provided you with experience configuring HSRP and VRRP to act as First Hop Redundancy Protocols.Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) performs a similar function in redundancy but offers the capability to load balance over multiple gateways.

GLBP is a Cisco-proprietary solution created to enable automatic selection and simultaneous use of multiple available gateways in addition to automatic failover between those gateways. Multiple routers share the load of frames that, from a client perspective, are sent to a single default gateway address.

Like HSRP and VRRP, an election occurs, but rather than a single active router winning the election, GLBP elects an Active Virtual Gateway (AVG). The AVG assigns virtual MAC addresses to each of the routers in the GLBP group (called Active Virtual Forwarders or AVFs). These virtual MAC addresses are then provided to hosts in an algorithmic manner in response to ARP requests from hosts for the default gateway.

GLBP allows for simultaneous forwarding from routers participating in a GLBP group. GLBP can support up to four routers in a group. GLBP also offers authentication and object tracking.

Note: This lab is an exercise in deploying and verifying GLBP and does not necessarily reflect networking best practices.

Note: The switches used with CCNP hands-on labs are Cisco 3650 with Cisco IOS XE release 16.9.4 (universalk9 image) and Cisco 2960+ with IOS release 15.2 (lanbase image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and the output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs.

Note: Ensure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure contact your instructor.

Answers Note: Refer to the Answers Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.

Step 3:Configure the PCs for network connectivity.

Configure PC1 and PC2 with the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway specified in the topology diagram. The IPv6 address and default gateway information for the PCs will come from SLAAC.

Part 2:Configure and Observe GLBP for IPv4 and IPv6

In Part 2, you will configure and test GLBP in support of IPv4 and IPv6.

A GLBP group can have as many as four members. A single member will be elected as the AVG, and then routers will be designated as AVFs and their virtual MAC address will be distributed to hosts by the AVG in response to ARP requests.

AVG election is based on highest GLBP priority. In case of a tie, the highest assigned IP address is used. The glbp <grp #> priority interface configuration command can be used to modify the priority from the default of 100 to influence the election of the AVG. Should the AVG lose its role, the backup router with highest priority will assume the role. If you want the original AVG router to reassume its role when it comes back up, the glbp <grp #> preempt command must be configured.

The AVF is responsible for forwarding packets that are sent to the virtual MAC address assigned to that gateway by the AVG. Forward preemption is used with the AVFs and allows another AVF to assume responsibility for forwarding packets for an AVF that has lost its role or been disconnected. While AVG preemption must be manually configured, AVF preemption is enabled by default.

However, the AVFs use a weighting value rather than a priority value. Weighting thresholds are defined in conjunction with interface tracking. This functionality will be demonstrated later in the lab.

In this lab, D1 will act as AVG and AVF1 and D2 will act as the AVF2. D1’s GLBP priority will be modified to ensure its election as AVG.

The standby address for VLAN 99 will be the host address 192.168.99.254. For IPv6, VLAN 99 will use fe80::99:254 as the default gateway.

Step 1:Configure GLBP on switch D1.

1. Configure GLBP group 99 on interface VLAN 99 with a GLBP ip of 192.168.99.254 and a priority of 150.

Open configuration window

D1(config)# interface vlan 99

D1(config-if)# glbp 99 ip 192.168.99.254

D1(config-if)# glbp 99 priority 150

D1(config-if)# glbp 99 preempt

2. Configure GLBP group 996 on interface vlan 99 with a GLBP ip of fe80::99:254 and a priority of 150.

D1(config-if)# glbp 996 ipv6 fe80::99:254

D1(config-if)# glbp 996 priority 150

D1(config-if)# glbp 996 preempt

Step 2:Verify GLBP is operational on switch D1.

1. Verify that GLBP is active and operating on switch D1 with the show glbp command. Because D1 is the only switch configured for GLBP, it is the AVG and AVF on all groups.

Let us examine this output in detail (Note that there may be differences in your output.).

The first line after the column headings provides the status of the AVG. Reading from left to right, the line states that the priority of the local device is 100, the local device AVG status is standby for the virtual IP 192.168.99.254, and that the active AVG is 192.168.99.1 and the standby AVG is the local device.

The second line provides the status of AVF1. Reading from left to right, the AVF1 status is Listen for the virtual MAC address 0007.b400.6301, and the active router is 192.168.99.1. This indicates that the local device is listening for the status of AVF1, and that 192.168.99.1 is currently active as AVF1. If AVF1 were to fail, which we will demonstrate later, D2 would be listening, it would hear that D1 is no longer sending messages, and take over processing traffic for AVF1 until it hears traffic from D1 again.

The third line provides the status of AVF2. Reading from left to right, the AVF2 status is active for the MAC address 0007.b400.6302, and the active router is the local router.

The last three lines provide the same information for group 996.

Close configuration window

Step 5:Observe and validate GLBP operation.

1. Interface Loopback0 on D1 and D2 represent a destination on the internet. From PC1 and PC2, ping the IPv4 and IPv6 address of interface Loopack0 on D1. A successful ping verifies that the gateway router is working. But we need to look further. Use the arp -a command on PC1 and PC2 and look at the entry for the default gateway. You will see that one computer has 00:70:b4:00:63:01 and the other has 00:70:b4:00:63:02. The traffic load has been balanced between the gateways.

2. Now that the PCs are operating and you can see the load balancing in effect, what happens when one of the AVFs fail? To observe this, issue the shutdown command on D2 interface VLAN 99, ping 172.16.1.1 and 2001:db8:172::1 from PC1 and PC2, then look at the ARP and Neighbor tables on PC1 and PC2.

It is important that you understand that the AVG hands out MAC addresses in a round-robin fashion by default. If you carefully control which host is doing what during this process, you should be able to recreate these results. The other options for load balancing are host-dependent and weighted.

Part 3:Configure and Observe GLBP Authentication

Just like HSRP, GLBP is unauthenticated by default, which opens up the possibility of a rogue device joining the GLBP protocol message traffic and being inserted into the routing operations out of the LAN. It is a good idea to add authentication to GLBP to ensure this does not happen. Just like HSRP, GLBP supports plaintext authentication, as well as md5-based key-string or key-chain based authentication. Authentication is configured on the interface supporting GLBP.

1. On D1, configure authentication for groups 99 and 996 using the key string Super53cret.

Open configuration window

D1(config)# interface vlan 99

D1(config-if)# glbp 99 authentication md5 key-string Super53cret

D1(config-if)# glbp 996 authentication md5 key-string Super53cret

D1(config-if)# exit

2. Notice that as soon as this command was entered on D1, we received a “bad authentication” message display to the console screen. GLBPP authentication is not yet configured on D2 therefore we expect the GLBP process to be disrupted. The output of the show glbp brief command below confirms that D2 is no longer the standby router for group 99. The standby router shows unknown.

D2(config-if)# glbp 996 authentication md5 key-string Super53cret

4. As soon as the key-string was entered, GLBP started working again. Validate this by examining the output of show glbp brief on D1 and you will see that D2 is now listed as the standby router for group 99 and that D2 is acting as AVF2.

Part 4:Configure and Observe GLBP Object Tracking

GLBP tracking uses a weighting mechanism. With GLBP, two thresholds are defined: one lower threshold that applies when the AVF loses weight, and one upper threshold that applies when the AVF regains weight. The GLBP weighting mechanism has upper and lower thresholds defined. This offers more flexibility than its counterparts HSRP and VRRP, which only allow a single threshold to be defined. If the AVF priority (or weight) falls below the threshold, the AVF loses its active state. As soon as the AVF weight (or priority) exceeds the upper threshold, the AVF regains its active state. Given our concern about distant network reachability, we will track interface loopback 0 on switch D1 and D2.

Step 1:Create a tracked object.

Create an object on Switch D1 and D2 that tracks the line-protocol of interface Loopback 0.

Open configuration window

D1(config)# track 7 interface loopback 0 line-protocol

D1(config-track)# exit

Step 2:Configure GLBP to track the object status.

In the first command, Interface VLAN 99 is configured with a glbp weight of 110, a lower threshold of 85 and an upper threshold of 105. When the weight falls below the specified lower threshold (85), the D1 AFV is forced to relinquish its role for the ACTIVE MAC address assigned to it.

In the second command, GLBP weighting is associated with the line protocol status of interface loopback 0. If the line protocol state changes, the weight configured for 110 will be decreased by 30 resulting in a weight of 80. D1 would then lose its AVF role until the weight exceeds the upper defined threshold of 105.

The commands are repeated for group 996, and all four commands are applied to interface vlan 99 on switch D2.

D1(config)# interface vlan 99

D1(config-if)# glbp 99 weighting 110 lower 85 upper 105

D1(config-if)# glbp 99 weighting track 7 decrement 30

D1(config-if)# glbp 996 weighting 110 lower 85 upper 105

D1(config-if)# glbp 996 weighting track 7 decrement 30

D1(config-if)# exit

Step 3:Verify the GLBP configuration.

Issue the command show glbp on switch D1. In the output, you can see all the adjustments that have been made up to this point.

Redirection enabled, 598.048 sec remaining (maximum 600 sec)

Time to live: 14398.048 sec (maximum 14400 sec)

Preemption enabled, min delay 30 sec

Active is FE80::D2:1 (primary), weighting 110 (expires in 8.992 sec)

Client selection count: 127

Close configuration window

Step 4:Verify GLBP adjusts to weighting changes.

1. On a PC that is using D1 as its AVF1 (MAC address ending in 01), start a continuous ping to the destination address 172.16.1.1. This will be useful to demonstrate the automatic failover of one AVF to the other when the tracked object decrements the GLBP weight.
2. Shut down interface Loopback 0 on D1 and observe the console messages.

Open configuration window

D1(config)# interface loopback 0

D1(config-if)# shutdown

D1(config-if)#

*Jan 22 21:53:48.687: %TRACK-6-STATE: 7 interface Lo0 line-protocol Up -> Down

D1(config-if)#

*Jan 22 21:53:50.687: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Loopback0, changed state to down

*Jan 22 21:53:50.689: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Loopback0, changed state to administratively down

D1(config-if)#

*Jan 22 21:54:21.900: %GLBP-6-FWDSTATECHANGE: Vlan99 Grp 996 Fwd 1 state Active -> Listen

3. After the GLBP state change on D1, look at the ping output. The ping should be continuing without fail, and only experiencing a few lost packets.
4. Examine the output of show glbp for group 99.

<output omitted>

The first part of the GLBP output deals with D1’s role as an AVG. The AVG role has not been affected by the configuration we applied above. The highlighted portion shows the impact of the interface tracking and weighting mechanism configurations. The weighting mechanism only affects the forwarder role in GLBP. Notice that D1 is no longer the forwarder for the MAC address 0007.b400.6301. D1 shows the forwarder roles for both MAC addresses in the listen state.

5. Issue the no shutdown command on D1 interface Loopback 0 and you should see that D1 resumes its role as an AVF.
