Chapter 40 Configuring HSRP and Enhanced Object Tracking

Configuring HSRP

When the standby ip command is enabled on an interface and proxy ARP is enabled, if the interface’s Hot Standby state is active, proxy ARP requests are answered using the Hot Standby group MAC address. If the interface is in a different state, proxy ARP responses are suppressed.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create or enable HSRP on a Layer 3 interface:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

interface interface-id

Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the Layer 3 interface on

 

 

which you want to enable HSRP.

Step 3

 

 

standby [group-number]ip [ip-address

Create (or enable) the HSRP group using its number and virtual IP

 

[secondary]]

address.

 

 

(Optional) group-number—The group number on the interface for

 

 

which HSRP is being enabled. The range is 0 to 255; the default is 0.

 

 

If there is only one HSRP group, you do not need to enter a group

 

 

number.

 

 

(Optional on all but one interface) ip-address—The virtual IP address

 

 

of the hot standby router interface. You must enter the virtual IP

 

 

address for at least one of the interfaces; it can be learned on the other

 

 

interfaces.

 

 

(Optional) secondary—The IP address is a secondary hot standby

 

 

router interface. If neither router is designated as a secondary or

 

 

standby router and no priorities are set, the primary IP addresses are

 

 

compared and the higher IP address is the active router, with the next

 

 

highest as the standby router.

Step 4

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

 

 

show standby [interface-id [group]]

Verify the configuration.

Step 6

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

Use the no standby [group-number] ip [ip-address] interface configuration command to disable HSRP.

This example shows how to activate HSRP for group 1 on a port. The IP address used by the hot standby group is learned by using HSRP.

Note This procedure is the minimum number of steps required to enable HSRP. Other configuration is optional.
