A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by a virtual router redundancy protocol, VRRP, router on a local area network, LAN, a group load balancing identifier, GLB ID, value via a user interface; sending, by the VRRP router, the GLB ID value to at least one peer VRRP router on the LAN, the VRRP router and the at least one peer VRRP router on the LAN defining a group of peer VRRP routers; and responsive to receiving, by the VRRP router, a second GLB ID value from a peer VRRP router on the LAN, wherein the GLB ID value and the second GLB ID value are non-zero numerical values indicating that Group Load Balancing needs to be performed among the group of peer VRRP routers, selecting, for each of at least two virtual local area networks, VLANs, connected to the group of peer VRRP routers via a switch, and using respective, per VLAN, priority values associated with each of the VRRP routers in the group of peer VRRP routers, a master for the group of peer VRRP routers, and responsive to the VRRP router selecting itself as the master for the group of VRRP routers for a given one of the at least two VLANs, adjusting, by the VRRP router, a priority value of the VRRP router for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs, and sending, by the VRRP router, a notification to the at least one VRRP peer device, that the VRRP router is the master for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs. receiving, by a virtual router redundancy protocol, VRRP, router on a local area network, LAN, a group load balancing identifier, GLB ID, value via a user interface; sending, by the VRRP router, the GLB ID value to at least one peer VRRP router on the LAN, the VRRP router and the at least one peer VRRP router on the LAN defining a group of peer VRRP routers; and responsive to receiving, by the VRRP router, a second GLB ID value from a peer VRRP router on the LAN, wherein the GLB ID value and the second GLB ID value are non-zero numerical values indicating that Group Load Balancing needs to be performed among the group of peer VRRP routers, selecting, for each of at least two virtual local area networks, VLANs, connected to the group of peer VRRP routers via a switch, and using respective, per VLAN, priority values associated with each of the VRRP routers in the group of peer VRRP routers, a master for the group of peer VRRP routers, and responsive to the VRRP router selecting itself as the master for the group of VRRP routers for a given one of the at least two VLANs, adjusting, by the VRRP router, a priority value of the VRRP router for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs, and sending, by the VRRP router, a notification to the at least one VRRP peer device, that the VRRP router is the master for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs. selecting, for each of at least two virtual local area networks, VLANs, connected to the group of peer VRRP routers via a switch, and using respective, per VLAN, priority values associated with each of the VRRP routers in the group of peer VRRP routers, a master for the group of peer VRRP routers, and responsive to the VRRP router selecting itself as the master for the group of VRRP routers for a given one of the at least two VLANs, adjusting, by the VRRP router, a priority value of the VRRP router for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs, and sending, by the VRRP router, a notification to the at least one VRRP peer device, that the VRRP router is the master for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs. adjusting, by the VRRP router, a priority value of the VRRP router for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs, and sending, by the VRRP router, a notification to the at least one VRRP peer device, that the VRRP router is the master for the group of VRRP routers for the given one of the at least two VLANs.
