Video Description
Gateway Load Balancing In this lesson we look at Gateway Load Balancing, our first type of Hot Standby Routing Protocol. We'll explore what happens when a connection host is just sitting in stand-by status. You'll also learn why GLPP routers send Hello's to what groups, with what frequency and why. We'll explain the concept of actual virtual forwarding and demonstrate for example how it works, what router returns their own MAC address and which routers those MAC addresses belong to.
Video Transcription
00:04
the next first time Redundancy protocol we're gonna cover is Gateway Load Balancing Protocol or G L B P.
00:11
Now in the kid's stuff interest RP. You saw that router one became active and rotter to was just sitting there in the standby stage, making this link
00:22
not handle. Handle any load,
00:24
which means router to you bought it. You're paying for it. You're paying for this Internet connection,
00:30
but you're wasting bandwidth and you're not really using it because it's just sitting there in the standby state with G L B P. It takes an active, active approach to
00:43
first hot redundancy.
00:45
Now real quick. Few things about G o P p G L B P.
00:49
Dopp routers. Send hellos
00:53
to the multi cast address to 24 00102 every three seconds to UDP Port 3222
01:03
Now with G O B P.
01:04
Once it's configured between router one and two,
01:08
you're gonna elect what is called an active virtual gateway
01:12
on active virtual. Gateway assigns a different Virtual Mac address to each member of the group, so let's say router one, and rather too, are going to be part of Group 10 G L B P Group 10
01:26
rather one, let's say, is elected as the GLBT active virtual gateway.
01:33
In that case, Rather, one is gonna assign itself a virtual Mac
01:37
and a different virtual Matt to round or two.
01:42
Then there's a concept of the actual active virtual forger. The active virtual foreigner
01:49
is the router that is actually affording traffic.
01:53
So what will happen is when Host one
01:57
tries to send traffic out through the Internet,
02:00
and it sends out an art request for the Virtual Jobe Virtual Router. Mac Address.
02:07
Router one will return its own map for host one,
02:13
then if host to sends out an art request for the 1 51 1 $45.10 address, which is your virtual router address. Rather, one will actually return Router of Twos Mac address in this case.
02:27
So what will happen is when host, who is sending traffic out Router two will take care of that load.
02:32
When host one is trapped, tending traffic out Router one will take care of that load,
02:38
so in this case, boats, routers, affording traffic. Both routers are active, but for different hosts
02:45
on the network
02:46
or on the deadly
02:49
this way, you get a better bandwidth utilization.
02:52
And unlike a just RP when where one router is sitting there doing nothing, Both routers are being so rather ones. Rule is to return this ring Virtual Mac addresses to the host that are paying for 1 51 01 45 10
03:07
and rather one will's begin with itself. Give itself a Virtual Mac address and return that to the first host. That article 1 51 1 45 10 Then the next host that arms for the same address. We'll get a different Virtual Mac address,
03:22
which actually belongs to router to the router. To can do the fording for host to the configuration for G L B P is pretty simple
03:31
again. Instead of the word it just harpy I'm saying g o b p
03:35
Then the group number G L B P 10
03:38
i p and the virtual I P
03:40
and then g o B p 10 Priority 105 The default being 100 it varies between one and 255
03:49
So since
03:51
I said GOP be 10 priority one or five on rather one, and I said G O B p 10 Priority 100 on router to Rounder. One becomes your active virtual gateway, and rather one will be responsible for assigning different virtual max as default gateways,
04:08
as different hosts are for the 1 51 1 45 10 address
04:13
again on router to have set assigned the same group. GLBT group number G O B B 10 I Pee and then the virtual I P.
04:20
And that concludes the lecture for GOP.
