ROUTER REDUNDANCY COMMANDS

Hot Standby Router Protocol Commands

To configure HSRP, add the interface for each router that will participate in the virtual router group, set the priorities, and configure an authentication string. The HSRP protocol will automatically select the master and standby router based on the priority settings. You can also enable the preempt feature which allows a router to take over as the master router when it comes on line. HSRP also allows you to specify a set of interfaces that dynamically change the router priority based on their availability.
