Configuring HSRP on Cisco Router

Configuring HSRP on Cisco Router

Using the diagram above we are going to configure R1 and R2 for HSRP using the virtual IP address of 10.1.20.1 

R1 will be configured as the Active HSRP default-gateway and R2 will be configured as Standby. 

	MPLS

 

BLR-OIMS-RTR01

BLR-OIMS-RTR02

Gi0/0

Gi0/0

 The Preempt command is configured on both routers.

HSRP on R1

BLR-OIMS-RTR01(config)# interface Gi0/0

BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)# ip address 10.1.20.2 255.255.255.0

BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)# standby 1 ip 10.1.20.1

BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)# standby 1 priority 110

BLR-OIMS-RTR01 (config-if)# standby 1 preempt

HSRP on R2

BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config)# interface Gi0/0

BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)# ip address 10.1.20.3 255.255.255.0

BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)# No shutdown

BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)# standby 1 ip 10.1.20.1

BLR-OIMS-RTR02 (config-if)# standby 1 preempt

Verify HSRP

After configuration, give a few moment and use the show standby and show standby brief commands on R1 and R2 to verify that HSRP your configuration. 

R1 should be the Active router and R2 should be Standby.
