Hello.
By using "debug glbp events" can see something like the following
output.
===============================================
GLBP: Fa0/0 123.1 Listen: k/Hello rcvd from lower pri Active router (135/211.102.108.161)
===============================================
or
===============================================
GLBP: Fa0/0 123.1 Active: i/Hello rcvd from higher pri Active router (167/211.102.108.152)
===============================================
Note the (xyz / ip_addr)
Is the "xyz" prior to "ip_addr" the priority of the virtual forwarder?
I wonder how this number "xyz" be calculated by router.
Who knows, please?
Thank you.

Hi,
It's not the priority of GLBP which we configured.
I am not sure about 135 or 167 here but what I observed in the labs is...
It says "167" when Primary VF is active & says "135" when Primary VG is inactive.
Pls find the following link which may help...

hi,
xyz is calculated in Weighted Load Balancing Algorithm.
It can be as simple as adding all the weight defined and the sum total will be the xyz.

Pravin,
I don't think this could be sum of all weights as per debugs.
Pls find the conf & debugs here.

Irrespective of weight configuration, it's giving 167 as Pri.

Hi Ashok,
I meant to say that weight algorithm is been used by cisco. This does not have any rfc to prove and calculate.
Weighted allows for GLBP to place a weight on each device when calculating the amount of load sharing. For example, if there are two routers in the group, and router A has twice the forwarding capacity of router B, the weighting value should be configured to be double the amount of router B. To assign a weighting value, the glbp x weighting y, where x is the GLBP group number, and y is the weighting value, a number from 1 to 254.
It would be great if some one can come up with and answer
