The output shows that Switch A becomes the backup, and Switch B becomes the master. Switch B
forwards packets from Host A to Host B.
Configuring BFD for a VRRP backup to monitor the master
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 45:
• Switch A and Switch B belong to VRRP group 1. The virtual IP address of VRRP group 1 is
192.168.0.10.
• The default gateway of the hosts in the LAN is 192.168.0.10.
Configure VRRP-Track-BFD collaboration to monitor the master on the backup and meet the
following requirements:
• When Switch A operates correctly, the hosts in the LAN access the Internet through Switch A.
• When Switch A fails, the backup (Switch B) can quickly detect the state change of the master
through BFD and become the new master. The hosts in the LAN access the Internet through
Switch B.
