Track Object : 1 State : Negative Switchover
The output shows that when BFD detects that Router A fails, it notifies VRRP through the Track module to
change the status of Router B to master without waiting for a period three times the advertisement interval.
This ensures that a backup can quickly preempt as the master.
Configuring BFD for the VRRP master to monitor the uplink
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 13 , 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 operates correctly, hosts in the LAN access the external network through Router A. When
Router A detects that the uplink is down through BFD, it decreases its priority so that Router B can preempt
as the master, ensuring that the hosts in the LAN can access the external network through Router B.

Configuration procedure
1. Configure BFD on Router A:
# Configure the source address of BFD echo packets as 10.10.10.10.
<RouterA> system-view
[RouterA] bfd echo-source-ip 10.10.10.10
2. Create the track entry to associate with the BFD session on Router A:
# Create track entry 1 for the BFD session on Router A to check whether the uplink device with the
IP address 1.1.1.2 is reachable.
