HSRP

The document discusses Layer 3 redundancy, focusing on Default Gateway Redundancy using HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) and its configuration. It explains the roles of active and standby routers, the verification process, and the integration of IP SLA tracking for enhanced reliability. Additionally, it introduces Gateway Load Balancing Protocol for efficient resource utilization across routers.

Understanding Layer 3 Redundancy

BSCI v3.0—2-1
The Need for Default Gateway Redundancy
Default Gateway Redundancy
Default Gateway Redundancy (Cont.)
HSRP
•HSRP defines a group of routers -- one active and one standby.
•Virtual IP and MAC addresses are shared between the two
routers.
•To verify HSRP state, use the show standby command.
•HSRP is Cisco proprietary, and VRRP is a standard protocol.
HSRP (Cont.)
Active router:
• Responds to default gateway
ARP requests with the virtual
router MAC address
• Assumes active forwarding of
packets for the virtual router
• Sends hello messages
• Knows the virtual router IP
address
Standby Router
• Listens for periodic hello
messages
• Assumes active forwarding of
packets if it does not hear from
active router
HSRP states
Configuring HSRP
• Routers A and B are configured with priorities of 110 and 90,
respectively. The configuration of Router A is displayed. A similar
configuration is required on Router B.
• The preempt keyword ensures that Router A will be the HSRP
active router as long its interface is active and sending hellos.

RouterA(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0

RouterA(config-if)# standby 1 ip 10.1.10.1
RouterA(config-if)# standby 1 priority 110
RouterA(config-if)# standby 1 preempt
HSRP Verification

Use the show standby command to verify the HSRP state.

RouterA# show standby


GigabitEthernet0/0 - Group 1 (version 2)
State is Active
2 state changes, last state change 00:00:18
Virtual IP address is 10.1.10.1
Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001
Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001 (v2 default)
Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec
Next hello sent in 2.278 secs
Preemption enabled
Active router is local
Standby router is 10.1.10.3, priority 90 (expires in 9 sec)
Priority 110 (configured 110)
Group name is hsrp-Gig0/0-1 (default)

The show standby brief command displays a


summary of the HSRP configurations.
RouterA# show standby brief

Gateway Load Balancing Protocol
• Allows full use of resources on
all devices without the
administrative burden of
creating multiple groups
• Provides a single virtual IP
address and multiple virtual
MAC addresses
• Routes traffic to single
gateway distributed across
routers
• Provides automatic rerouting
in the event of any failure
