HSRP and GLBP

What are you trying achieve with such a config? Since GLBP and HSRP have similar functionality, it is not clear when configuring both would be useful. Also, for hosts on the LAN where you have this pair of routers, what you configure as the default gateway? Will it be the HSRP virtual IP address or will it be the GLBP virtual IP address?

Having said that, I think if you configured GLBP and HSRP together, it would probably work fine together. Just that I see no value in configuring them at the same time time on the same routers.

well I want to use GLBP load balancing features, but only for certain hosts, not all network. So I guess I could use HSRP for parts of network where I do not need LB or cannot/do not want rely on routing LB, but for some other parts of network I could use GLBP LB possibilities.

OK.

Though I could not see why HSRP and GLBP would not work correctly if configured simultaneously on the same interface, I decided to do a quick test on my lab routers. I found that it does work fine and so you should be fine to run the two together.

I had some basic config like the following for the test -

interface Ethernet0 ip address 192.169.0.3 255.255.255.0 no keepalive standby 2 ip 192.169.0.254 standby 2 priority 150 standby 2 preempt glbp 10 ip 192.169.0.253

Everything worked fine before and after a switchover.
