The output shows that when a fault is on the link between Router A and Router C, the priority of Router
A decreases to 80. Router A becomes the backup, and Router B becomes the master. Packets from Host
A to Host B are forwarded through Router B.
Configuring BFD for a VRRP backup to monitor the master
Network requirements
• As shown in Figure 57, Router A and Router 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 Router A works correctly, the
hosts in the LAN access the external network through Router A. When Router A fails, the hosts in the
LAN access the external network through Router B.
• If BFD is not configured, when the master in a VRRP group fails, the backup cannot become the
master until the configured timeout timer expires. The timeout is generally 3 to 4 seconds, which
makes the switchover slow. 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 100 milliseconds.
