I believe you are having two subnets

1.  Subnet A - 194.73.x.x - Active router is A and standby is B

2.Subnet B - 194.74.x.x - Active router is B and standby is A

Should work from the HSRP output pasted..

With regards,

Shailesh Hardas

You have two HSRP groups configured one for each subnet so you should have secondary addresses configured on your interfaces.

Is it working as expected ?

Laurent.

hi

yes it seems to be...so they must have secondary addresses on there??

i gather these dont show in ip int bri command??

cheers
