I have the below two switches running HSRP on all vlans - sample of one of the vlans - others are configured in the same manner.

On the live network using Stack of 3750 switches, I turned on the 'debug standby events' and I am getting the below messages of:-

003204: 35w5d: HSRP: Vl40 API active virtual address 10.10.40.56 not found

Hello,

That is an informational message only. In old IOS versions prior to 12.2, HSRP was a process belonging to IP Routing process. Beginning on 12.2 it is now a separate process. When it is needed, IP Routing queries HSRP process to check if the VIP is already in use by HSRP.

The message you receive is generated when IP Routing queries HSRP to check if the VIP is being used by it but it is not being used at the moment.

So, this is a normal situation that should not affect the network functionality.

Regards.
