glbp not supported on 3750, why?

[SAP]

question, why isn't glbp supported on 3750-E? doesn't make sense to support it?

[ethiel]

Well, I can't answer why they haven't added it yet, but they have been adding support very gradually. At first it was only on 7200s, then they added 6500s. I guess maybe in a few years we mat get it on more hardware.

I have two 3825 routers which seemed to run glbp fine, however, I could not communicate to the 3750 switch behind the routers after implementing glbp. HSRP seems to work just fine. Is that what you meant by glbp is not supported on the 3750? If not, does anyone have an idea why implementing glbp on the routers would break connectivity to the switch?

thanks

I have a simular problem.. 

HSRP runs fine, but reconfigure with GLBP, and anyone in the network cannot ping the switches, or any users on the LAN.

They can ping the router IP's fine.

Users on the LAN cannot ping the router IP's at all.

That's the type of question that only Cisco can answer.  It could be, the 3750 architecture is an impediment; it could be with 3750 stacking, who needs it; it could be with a L3 switch Cisco doesn't see the need to load balance hosts; it could be . . .
