IPv4 Standby Information:

Run Mode : Standard

Run Method : Virtual MAC

Total number of virtual routers : 1

Interface GigabitEthernet3/1/10

VRID : 1 Adver Timer : 5

Admin Status : Up State : Master

Config Pri : 100 Running Pri : 100

Preempt Mode : Yes Delay Time : 5

The output shows that when a fault is on the link between Router A and Router C, the priority of Router
A decreases to 80. Router A becomes the backup, and Router B becomes the master. Packets from Host

A to Host B are forwarded through Router B.

Network requirements

As shown in

Figure 34

, Router A and Router B belong to VRRP group 1, whose virtual IP address is

192.168.0.10.

The default gateway of the hosts in the LAN is 192.168.0.10. When Router A works normally, the

hosts in the LAN access the external network through Router A. When Router A fails, the hosts in the
LAN access the external network through Router B.

If BFD is not configured, when the master in a VRRP group fails, the backup cannot become the
master until the configured timeout timer expires. The timeout is generally three to four seconds,

which makes the switchover slow. To solve this problem, VRRP uses BFD to probe the state of the

master. Once the master fails, the backup can become the new master in milliseconds.
