Configuring BFD for a VRRP backup to monitor the master Network requirements • As shown in Figure 28, Switch A and Switch 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 Switch A operates correctly, the hosts in the LAN access the external network through Switch A. When Switch A fails, the hosts in the LAN access the external network through Switch B. • If the master in a VRRP group fails and BFD is not configured, the backup cannot become the master until the configured timeout timer expires. The timeout is usually 3 to 4 seconds, which is a long delay for most applications. 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.
