Kindly assist in troubleshooting GLBP functionality
GLBP has been configured one 2951 and 3945 (using the etherswitch module on 3945) Routers, using OSPF. After configuration, the load-balancing is working properly, as the route from the local systems periodically changes from Route 1 to the other and back at regular interver. But whenever I shut down a link, to test the functionality and availability of the redundant link of GLBP, the whole circuit would go down, making destination no longer reachable. I believe there is something that ought to be done or some of the configurations is not complet. Please help troubleshoot, the configs are below.
In addition, how is the "ip sla group" configured on the 2951 and 3945 Routers, to be able to track objects? It gives me the "ip sla responder" and "ip sla key-chain" options on image version c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.150-1.M3.bin

Do you get a different result if you physically pull the cable? If you have a specific route that you receive from the other side, you could try changing the tracking config to track the route. For example, if you receive prefix 192.168.1.0/24 from the provider, you could configure track like:
track 1 ip route 192.168.1.0/24 reachability
Otherwise, there are some tracking issues with the IOS version that you're running. You could try to update the IOS to see if this other problem is resolved. Personally, if pulling the cable still doesn't show you that the interface is down (tracked), then I would update the IOS first to see if it worked. I've tested shutting down the interface to see if line protocol was seen as down, and it is:
Track 1
Interface FastEthernet0/0 line-protocol
Line protocol is Down (hw admin-down)
4 changes, last change 00:00:04
Notice that it says admin-down, so you, in theory, should be seeing the same thing. Your glbp configuration should work fine once you get the tracking situation resolved.
HTH,
