If u wanted to configure HSRP u need to have an MSFC card(layer 3) then only it is possible to configure HSRP on your 6509 switches.
once the MSFC card is inserted.
issue the command as....
6509>session 15
which will take you the layer 3 card.
which
configuration looks like below....
switch-A
interface vlan 2
ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
standby 1 ip 10.1.1.1
standby 1 timers 5 15
standby 1 priority 101
standby 1 preempt
switch-B
interface vlan 2
ip address 10.1.1.3 255.255.255.0
standby 1 ip 10.1.1.1
standby 1 timers 5 15
standby 1 priority 100
standby 1 preempt
on the pc side you need to give the gateway ip address as 10.1.1.1 which is a virtual IP address, which means even if switch-A fails automatically switch-B takes the load.
eg. normal scenario 10.1.1.1 will act as 10.1.1.2,if 10.1.1.2 fails 10.1.1.1 will act as 10.1.1.3.
Note: on both the switches you need to have layer 3 cards installed.
hope this helps.
