I have been having trouble setting a backup default gateway here using hsrp, here are the configs, it basically wouldnt work, can anyone let me know if its ok, and show me amendments if poss

thanks

Hi Carl

First advice would be using different HSRP groups numbering for every interface (every network). So, for example use "standby 10" for giga0/0 in active and f0/0 in fallover and "standby 11" in giga0/1 in active and f0/1 in fallover.

Hope this helps

what benifit woulf this have ? and why would we do this ?

[amit-singh]

With this you will have different HSRP gorups on the router. This will create two HSRP groups which is called as MHSRP and you can configure HSRP load-balancing to pass the traffic using both the routers.

HTH,Please rate if it does.

In Addtion to JOSE's post, I will also suggest to change the priority to a higher value on the router interface which you want to be as active. I have see a lots of issue when you have prority set a relatively close vlaue to the HSRP default value which is 100. You have used priority as 110 on the active router, change is to something 200 or 220. The default priority for the HSRP interface is 100 so you dont have to set it manually.

An alternative (assuming not you're running an old IOS) is to use separate groups for each secondary IP address.

Don't bother with authentication unless you think there is a real likelihood that someone is going to put another HSRP-capable device on your LAN.

Your multinetting seems a little over-complicated - I think your problem may be the fact that you have overlapping subnets on your 0/0 interfaces. I can't see how HSRP would know which one you meant.

You also don't need the preempt on your secondary router (not that it makes any difference).

You haven't detailed the ACLs - I assume ACL101 doesn't block your HSRP traffic?! It isn't immune.

Pleas rate if this helps.

[carl_townshend]

thanks for your help, we dont want to load balance as the other router only has 100 mrg ports, this one has gigabit ones, so Will secondary addresses confuse it ?

[carl_townshend]

can anyone help here ?

[amit-singh]

Carl,you can use the different HSRP group for secondry addreses just to make the config simple and have every secondry ip assign to a different group.

If you dont want to use it you should be fine with it. Just change the priority command under the interfaces as I suggested in my last post to some vlaue 200/220 and you should be fine with it.

Let me know if you need more help.

[carl_townshend]

so config should be ok as it is apart from priority command ? what benifit will using groups have and can you give me example with my config ?

thanks

[amit-singh]

The benefit that you get using the HSRP groups is that you will have a different virtual IP and MAC for each group. Whenever any client from the particular subnet makes an ARP request, virtual mac from each group is send to the host. This will make a proper ARP entry for each group in the router's ARP table. You can then configure HSRP-load-balancing.

If you have only one group under the router interface for all the secondry ip's you have a single Virtual-MAC for all of the subnets. Hence you cannot have a load-balancing configure in this scenario.
