VRRP Load-Sharing with Two Groups

Advanced VRRP on a single VLAN: configure two VRRP groups on R1/R2 so each router is Master for one group and Backup for the other, distributing host egress while preserving gateway redundancy.

Load-Sharing with Two HSRP Groups

Implement two HSRP groups on a single VLAN so each router is Active for one group and Standby for the other. Two hosts split default gateways across the two virtual IPs for deterministic load-sharing with redundancy.

CCNA Static Routing: Equal-Cost Load Sharing

Build a small HQ–WAN–Branch triangle with two independent WAN paths. Configure equal-cost static routes on both edge routers so traffic to the opposite site’s LAN installs with two next-hops and is load-shared by CEF. Verify end-to-end reachability from real hosts, observe per-flow load sharing on the routers, and compare behavior to a floating static of higher administrative distance.
