Figure 6 VRRP in load sharing mode
A router can be in multiple VRRP groups and hold a different priority in a different group.
As shown in Figure 6, the following VRRP groups
are present:
{ VRRP group 1—Router A is the master. Router B and Router C are the backups.
{ VRRP group 2—Router B is the master. Router A and Router C are the backups.
{ VRRP group 3—Router C is the master. Router A and Router B are the backups.
For load sharing among Router A, Router B, and Router C, hosts on the LAN need to be configured
to use VRRP group 1, 2, and 3 as the default gateways, respectively. When configuring VRRP
priorities, make sure that each router holds such a priority in each VRRP group so that it will take
the expected role in the group.

IMPORTANT:
• Before creating a VRRP group on an interface, you should first configure
an IP address for the interface and make sure that the virtual IP address
to be configured is in the same network segment as the IP address of the
interface.
• The maximum number of VRRP groups on an interface and the maximum
number of virtual IP addresses in a VRRP group vary by devices.
