How HSRP behaves with the existence of vPC on N7Ks

Hi Guys

How HSRP behaves with the existence of vPC on N7Ks

Thanks

HSRP behaves in many ways similar to IOS setup.

However please note that in VPC , both your active and standby HSRP switches will be forwarding the traffic actively.

So this an active/active set up rather than conventional active/standby set up.

Please let us know if you have any questions on this.

Hope this helps,

Madhu.

Hi,

Interms of configuring HSRP, there is no difference if you have a VPC running between the switches. Its same as the regular HSRP configuration between 2 individual nexus boxes.

A HSRP config example can be found here

Also you could read details about how HSRP works in VPC under this link.

Read through "Best Practices for HSRP/VRRP and vPC" on the above link.

Hope this helps,

Madhu.
