Case 3

Page 10 highlights

CASE 3 - Load Balancing through VRRP In this example we have two Internet connections provided by FVS338 routers; Router 1 will be the gateway for the hosts connected to Switch 1, and Router 2 will be the gateway for the hosts connected to Switch 2. In the event communication breaking between one of the Access Switches (Switch 1 and 2) and one of the Core Switches (Switch 3 and 4), the other core switch will become master for both VRRP sessions and accordingly route the traffic to the correct router and to the internet. NOTE: Because there is a loop in this topology, a similar deployment will require proper configuration of STP.

CASE 3 –
Load Balancing through VRRP
In this example we have two Internet connections provided by FVS338 routers; Router 1 will be
the gateway for the hosts connected to Switch 1, and Router 2 will be the gateway for the hosts
connected to Switch 2.
In the event communication breaking between one of the Access Switches (Switch 1 and 2) and
one of the Core Switches (Switch 3 and 4), the other core switch will become master for both
VRRP sessions and accordingly route the traffic to the correct router and to the internet.
NOTE:
Because there is a loop in this topology, a similar deployment will require proper
configuration of STP.
