HSRP in cisco 6500

[vinoth.kumar]

HI,

We have two cisco 6500 switch and i need to run HSRP for redunancy between the switch

but my query is since we have lot of VLAN created in primary switch how i can deploy the HSRP between them

whether i need to have different HSRP group for each VLAN

And if i connect the uplink from two catalyst to the distribution switch then whether i need to consider for STP

please suggest me

I had two 6500 series with multiple VLANs running HSRP. I had setup HSRP for each VLANs. I also used STP since you will be setting redundant links between your core switches (C6500) to the access layer switches.

Here is just a sample config that i just wrote:

Core1

spanning-tree mode pvst

spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

spanning-tree backbonefast

spanning-tree vlan 30,40 priority 24576

!

!

interface Vlan30

ip address 10.20.30.2 255.255.255.0

ip helper-address 10.20.10.29

no ip route-cache

standby name Servers

standby 30 ip 10.20.30.1

standby 30 priority 110

standby 30 preempt

!

interface Vlan40

ip address 10.20.40.2 255.255.255.0

ip helper-address 10.20.10.29

no ip route-cache

standby name Workstations

standby 40 ip 10.20.40.1

standby 40 priority 110

standby 40 preempt

====================================================================================

Core 2

spanning-tree mode pvst

spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

spanning-tree backbonefast

spanning-tree vlan 30,40 priority 28672

interface Vlan30

ip address 10.20.30.3 255.255.255.0

ip helper-address 10.20.10.29

no ip route-cache

standby name Servers

standby 30 ip 10.20.30.1

I also used uplinkfast on the access layer switches:

spanning-tree mode pvst

spanning-tree portfast default

spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

spanning-tree uplinkfast

spanning-tree backbonefast

Please find my attached setup diagram and suggest me how i can go head with the STP part

since we have planned redundancy for the server in terms of two NIC card
