HSRP with 2 seperate routers

[idj.vanderven]

Dear All,

I have 2 Cisco routers conencted to a Cat3550-24 via Fa ports.

On RT1 I have:

interface FastEthernet0/0.1

description vlan1 Management

encapsulation dot1Q 1 native

ip address 172.16.1.3 255.255.255.0 secondary

ip address 192.168.1.250 255.255.255.0

standby 1 ip 172.16.1.1

standby 1 authentication vlan1

standby 2 ip 192.168.1.249

standby 2 authentication vlan2

On RT2 I have:

interface FastEthernet1/0.1

description vlan1 Management

encapsulation dot1Q 1 native

ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.0 secondary

ip address 192.168.1.251 255.255.255.0

standby 1 ip 172.16.1.1

standby 1 authentication vlan1

standby 2 ip 192.168.1.249

standby 2 authentication vlan2

When I ping to:

172.16.1.1 = ok

172.16.1.2 = ok

172.16.1.3 = NOT ok.

I was in the assumption that I could ping all 3 ip addresses! but only one router is active.

Could anyone give me some advise??!!!

Hi Roger,

Yes, I had the same idea, cause I knwe the command from previous IOS versions and thought it was resolved by the latest IOS versions (12.2(xx) >). So did not used it, but I tried and it solved the flapping problem.

Roger I want to thank ya for the great help, cause I thought I know HSRP but now I know more about HSRP (even on bit level now via Sniffer programs and debug actions. I want to give ya a rate 5 for all the ime ya took to help me. Cuase all the advise ya ave to me stabilized the HSRP service. and with the last cli command (standby use-bia) was the finishing touch. Ya can close this one.

THNX AGAIN!!!

Rgds.
