Hi,

I enable the HSRP on two switches. the config are

!switch1

hostname hkgw01

!

interface GE 1/0/23

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

!

interface vlan10

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

standby 1 ip address 192.168.10.10

standby 1 priority 300

standby 1 preempt

standby 1 track GE 1/0/23 5

!switch2

hostname hkgw02

!

interface GE 1/0/23

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

!

interface vlan10

ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0

standby 1 ip address 192.168.10.10

standby 1 priority 290

standby 1 preempt

standby 1 track GE 1/0/23

For normal condition, the hkgw01 is active for vlan 10. If the interface GE 1/0/23 of hkgw01 is down. the priority of hkgw01 should be 300 - 5 = 295. hkgw01 is still the active router.

I have two approaches to solve it, not sure which one is better. please advice.

first approach

- change the config of hkgw01 to "standby 1 track GE 1/0/23"

second approach

- change the config of hkgw01 to "standby 1 track GE 1/0/23 30"
