GLBP
Couple questions regarding the weighting in GLBP.
When you want to configure tracking for an interface, you use the following command:
Now the object number, is that the same as the group number or just a locally significant unrelated value? From what I understand this command set the interface you want to track and what you want it to track (line protocol / ip routing) correct??
Now to setup the weighting value on the interface you use the
So this command sets the initial weighting value and the upper and lower thresholds? I am confused what they mean by upper and lower. Can someone elaborate for me?
The next command is
This specifies the object / interface to be tracked? The decrement means to decrement the weighting value we set above? So if the initial weighting was 100 and we said to decrement by 5 if there was a problem with the interface/routing it would drop to 95? How does this work with the upper and lower thresholds?
What I just read in another document is that there are 4 ways to load balance (none,weighted,host dependent, round-robin)..So I guess what I am discussing above is the weighted way of load balancing.
Here are the documents I was referencing:

glbp <group #> weighting <maximum> [lower <value>] [upper <upper>]

heres my glbp configuration from a while back, its better to keep glbp simple, it works well as long as u got preempt enabled, i think lol.
2620(cable), 2621(dsl) both are connected to the switch(3550) on vlan4 and below are the cfg for each.

No -- it just brings back bad memories....
If you talk about "luck of the draw" on questions -- I was very unlucky with this blueprint topic. Someone else who took the exam not long after me was lucky.
# Describe and configure gateway redundancy protocols (e.g. HSRP and GLBP)
This could be a topic to double check your troubleshooting techniques.... and maybe pay extra attention to debug commands.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set!
