In this example, by configuring a VRRP backup group in load balancing mode, you can provide the mutual backup function to devices in the VRRP backup group and balance network traffic among these devices.
Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 1.
-
CX-A serves as the master CX device of backup group 1 and the backup CX device of backup group 2.
-
CX-B serves as the master CX device of backup group 2 and the backup CX device of backup group 1.
-
Host A in the internal network takes backup group 1 as its gateway and Host C takes backup group 2 as its gateway to share the traffic and backup each other.
Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
-
Create two backup groups on the GE 2/0/0 interface on CX-A. CX-A is the master CX device in the backup group 1 and the backup in group 2.
-
Create two backup groups on the GE 2/0/0 interface on CX-B. CX-B is the backup CX device in the backup group 1 and the master in backup group 2.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
-
Virtual router ID and virtual IP address
-
Priority of each CX device in the backup group
Procedure
- Configure the network interconnection between devices.
# Configure the default gateway of Host A as the virtual IP address 10.1.1.111 in backup group 1, the default gateway of Host B as 20.1.1.1, and the default gateway of Host C as the virtual IP address 10.1.1.112 in backup group 2.# Configure CX-A, CX-B, and CX- C to use OSPF for interconnection.
- Configure VRRP.
# On CX-A, configure the IP address of the interface, create backup backup group 1 and configure the priority of CX-A in this backup group as 120 (as the master CX device). Create backup group 2 and configure the priority of CX-A in this backup group with the default value 100 (as the backup CX device).

- Verify the configuration.
After the previous configuration, Host A and Host C in the network can ping through Host B.Tracert Host B from Host A and Host C. Packets from Host A to Host B pass through CX-A and CX-C. Packets from Host C to Host B pass through CX-A and CX-C. That is, the load balancing is enabled for CX-A and CX-B to share the internal traffic.

Running the display vrrp command on CX-A, you can view that CX-A serves as the master CX device in backup group 1 and the backup CX device in backup group 2.<CX-A> display vrrp
