Does Smarts provide support for the Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP )?

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

There is currently (February 18, 2010) no support for GLBP within the Ionix Smarts IP Suite.

The GLBP protects data traffic from a failed router or circuit, like Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), while allowing packet load sharing between a group of redundant routers.
