Thanks Ankur,

One more thing can we use ip address instead of preempt in this command "standby 1 preempt".

and which series of routers that we can configure it.

Hi Manish,

You have to have to configure standby ip address and it is the whole purpose of HSRP which gives a virtual ip address. So once ip address is configured then you have to configure "preempt" keyword basically reinitiates election process.

So you have to configure something like this

standby 1 ip

standby 1 preempt

Check the configuartion section

Hi Ankur,

Thanks for helping get this idea, although had learnt about this, but never got this idea to implement the same.

Hey Sam,

You are always welcome and thanks for appreciating my effort.
