An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for releasing routing, and a virtual router redundancy protocol backup group and network. The virtual router redundancy protocol VRRP backup group includes: a VRRP member apparatus. A terminal apparatus accesses the virtual router redundancy protocol backup group using a switch and a two-layer network apparatus, and accesses a network side via the virtual router redundancy protocol backup group. A link failure detection technique is used to detect a link connection state between the VRRP member apparatus and the switch. Moreover, a target network segment is configured in the VRRP member apparatus as a VRRP backup group located network segment. The next one is a static routing message of an interface of the VRRP backup group, wherein the static routing message is ganged with the connecting state of the link. The VRRP member apparatus sends the static routing message to the network side. When an abnormal situation in the connecting state of the link happens, the static routing message becomes invalid due to being ganged with the connecting state of the link, and the VRRP member apparatus revokes issuing the static routing message to the network side.
