What is GLBP?

Understanding GLBP

GLBP stands for Gateway Load Balancing Protocol. It is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to provide automatic router backup and load balancing for multiple routers in a local network. GLBP allows multiple routers to work together in a group to share the workload and ensure high availability for end devices without requiring any special configuration on the end devices themselves.
