Help with HSRP lab

whiteford · ‎03-29-2009

Hi,

I would like to configure HSRP with 2 routers and a switch I have. The routers are 2620's which only have one ethernet port, can I practice HSRP with these at all, not sure if I can use a loopback or not?

Thanks

Hi:

You can configure HSRP with what you have. You dont need loopback interfaces.

Thanks, this worked.

The router with "standby 20 priority 105" is this the main router as it always takes the active role when both routers are on?
