Hi All,

This is regarding the GLBP and till now I know that this is Cisco prop. protocol but when I read the CCNP TSHOOT book by Kevin Wallace it says GLBP is not Cisco prop. protocol on page 122.

can anyone clarify on this !!!

Thanks,

Hemant

Hi Hemant,

Yes, GLBP is a Cisco proprietary protocol.

Introduced in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15), Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) is supported by Cisco 1700, 2600, 3620, 3631, 3640, 3660, 3725, 3745, 7100, 7200, 7400, 7500 series. GLBP is a Cisco proprietary protocol that attempts to overcome the limitations of existing redundant router protocols (HSRP, VRRP, …) by adding basic load balancing functionality.
