HSRP with NAT & VRF & Dot1Q--Is this possible?

Tracey Foster
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I started with one switch, S1, and one router with 20 VLANs trunking from switch to router.  Router, R1, interface has 20 sub-interfaces for each VLAN that is then NAT and VRF.  This works well.  Now I have to add some redundancy.

I plan on having a second switch, S2, (both 3560) to split the 20 VLAN's across.  I have a second router, R2 (both are 2911's).  Both R1 and R2 will be connected to R3, my connection to everything else on the global side.  At this time R3 is confirgured with static routes. 

I have established the connectivity from S1 to R2 as a trunk.  I have configured R2 with a sub-interface, NAT, VRF, Standby.  R1 interface has the standby configurations also, see below for all of them. 

When I do a show standby on R1, I can see the it as active, but standby is unknown.  On R2, it shows it as standby and active unknow.  When I pull the plug between R1 and S1, I see the standby swap, but it is not routing.  I assumed that I would have to make a static route change for the next hop router IP to be R2 instead of R1, but that didn't seem to bring the ping back.

I know I am missing something, just not sure what?  Also want to confirm that what I am trying to do can happen: NAT, VRF, Static Routes, HSRP.

You are missing the vrf on the R2 subinerface.  For the standby issue, can you send the output of show interface trunk and show vtp status on S1?

Thank you Matt!

I added the IP VRF to R2 G0/2.12.

I also added the IP NAT Outside to R2 G0/1

As you can see below, there are other VLAN's on this switch, but I figure if I can get it to work with Vlan12, I can get the rest to work.

R3 has static route

ip route 172.16.12.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.1

at this time I have to manually change it to

ip route 172.16.12.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.5.2

If I do this, everything works!  Drops a ping or two, but it works.  Now I need to figure out how to do this with the static routes.

If I do HSRP on R1 G0/1 and R2 G0/1, can I then use the Standby Tracking option and this will expand the redundancy capabilies and eliminate the static route problem?

I am still have a problem understanding the Standby groups also....  I am going to have to do HSRP for 22 different VLANs that are getting NAT and VRF.  I think I will have to use a stanby group for each VLAN correct?

Thanks for all the help!
