Hi,
The vendor proposes the network design, please find the attached file for detail. I have some questiones regarding the design
1. Is it possible to config the ip address of two routers below?
R1
FE0: 192.168.1.1/24
FE1: 192.168.1.2/24
virtual IP 192.168.1.10
R2
FE0: 192.168.1.3/24
virtual IP 192.168.1.10
2. how to config the HSRP in R1?
3. Is it a loop between the switches and router 1? Is the spanning tree enabled to be required?
thanks

R1 poses a problem. You cannot have two interfaces on the same router on the same subnet.
You dont indicate what kind of connection you have between your routers in your drawing, but you need to have a layer 2 adjacency between R1 and R2 so that you can span the subnet across both routers. Maybe through the switches?
Yes, run STP.

Hello Anita,
to use HSRP the two routers need to be connected to the same vlan, because they need to see each other's HSRP messages.
I think this is the sense of
"Maybe through the switches?"
And yes switches have to run STP.
Note:
there is a way to use both FE on R1 that is to use IRB something like
int fe0
no ip addr
bridge-group 1
int fe1
no ip addr
bridge-group 1
int bvi1
ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
! hsrp config here
bridge 1 route ip
bridge 1 protocol ieee
STP will be spoken as legacy 802.1D by the router a single link will be used with the second blocked by STP.
In case you would like to implement this you need to be sure root bridge is one of the lan switch
Hope to help

You dont require to wire site A and site B switches provided that HSRP vlan are allowed through trunk between user switch and site A and site B switches so that HSRP hello packets can be communicated between two routers. As you perceive, connectivity between user switch and site A&B switches is essential in order for HSRP to work.

Hi Victor,
Yes, two interfaces cannot be in the same subnet. The FE1 will be disabled. Can HSRP be config on FE0 of R1 and FE0 of R2?
the connection type of two routers is fibre ethernet connection.
R1
FE2: 172.16.1.1/30
R2
FE2: 172.16.1.2/30
I cannot catch the meaning of "Maybe through the switches?"

Hi Giuseppe,
Thanks for your suggestion config. Regarding the HSRP, it should be in the same VLAN, do I wire a fibre to connect two switches between site A and site B? or the HSRP message goes to the "user switch" and back to site B?
If I go to second one, the risk may shift to "user switch". Any idea?
