Solved: HSRP and GLBP on the same interface

pevorley · ‎08-16-2007

Hi,

As anyone ever configured HSRP and GLBP on the same interface please?

If so, are there any things I need to watch out for please?

Thanks.

Friend,

I did some test and there is absolutely no problem in defining HSRP and GLBP on the same interface.

have a look at the below config

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0

duplex auto

speed auto

glbp 1 ip 10.10.10.100

glbp 1 priority 200

glbp 1 preempt

standby 1 ip 10.10.10.1

standby 1 priority 105

standby 1 preempt

The only problem is that you cannot have the HSRP virtual IP and the GLBP IP as same.

When you try to do that you get an error as mentioned below

R2(config-if)#glbp 1 ip 10.10.10.1

% 10.10.10.1 is assigned to another application on FastEthernet0/0

So in effect, if you want to run GLBP, then your hosts should point to the GLBP IP and if you want to run HSRP point to the HSRP virtual IP

HTH, rate if it does

Hi,

Thanks for the very quick reply. Unfortunately the other thread doesn't answer the question definitively. They think it will work (I think it will as well), but are not 100% sure.

The configuration guide doesn't state that enabling HSRP/GLBP will disable the other, but it also doesn't explicitly state that it doesn't either.
