HSRP an interfaces secondary

[freddy.romero]

Hi everybody

We have two catalyst 6500 and we want to configure hsrp between both but on active switch we have many secondaries ip address in only one vlan. How is configuration in this case?

You can use secondary hsrp groups. Remember the MSFC2 has a limitation of 16 hsrp groups. But, you can use the groups in more than one vlan.

I'll give you this example, it's right?

--------------------------------------MAIN CAT6500 (ACTIVE)

Interface vlan1

ip address 200.5.129.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 200.5.130.1 255.255.255.0 secondary

standby 1 ip 200.5.129.2

stanby 1 priority 150

standby 2 ip 200.5.130.2

stanby 2 priority 150

!

Interface vlan2

ip address 200.5.131.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 200.5.132.1 255.255.255.0 secondary

standby 1 ip 200.5.131.2

stanby 1 priority 150

standby 2 ip 200.5.132.2

stanby 2 priority 150

!

--------------------------------------BACKUP CAT6500 (STANDBY)

Interface vlan1

ip address 200.5.129.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 200.5.130.1 255.255.255.0 secondary

standby 1 ip 200.5.129.2

standby 2 ip 200.5.130.2

!

Interface vlan2

ip address 200.5.131.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 200.5.132.1 255.255.255.0 secondary

standby 1 ip 200.5.131.2

standby 2 ip 200.5.132.2

!

Question 2:

Could I have the same EIGRP GROUP in both CAT6509, but one of them is in the standby status? ( we are talking about 2 separates Cat6509, each of them with only one MSFC)
