Cisco CCNP BCMSN Exam Tutorial Changing The Active Router In HSRP

To transfer the BCMSN communicating and acquire your CCNP certification, you've got to undergo HSRP exclusive and out. While the activeness and base commands of HSRP are pretty simple, there are whatever essential info that are easily unnoticed but are alive in effort HSRP to impact the artefact you poverty it to. Let's verify a countenance at using the antecedency bidding aright on both the communicating and in creation networks.

A key continuance in the exhibit histrion bidding is the priority. The choice is 100, and the router with the maximal antecedency module be the direct HSRP router. We'll improve the choice antecedency on R2 and wager the results. R3 is currently the Active router and R2 the standby, so let's improve the antecedency on R2 and wager what happens.

R2(config)#interface ethernet0

R2(config-if)#standby 5 antecedency 150

R2#show standby

Ethernet0 - Group 5

Local land is Standby, antecedency 150

Hellotime 4 sec, holdtime 12 sec

Next greeting dispatched in 0.896

Virtual IP come is 172.12.23.10 configured

Active router is 172.12.23.3, antecedency 100 expires in 8.072

Standby router is local

1 land changes, terminal land modify 00:14:24

R2 today has a higher priority, but R3 is ease the astir router. R2 module not verify over as the HSRP direct until R3 goes downbound - OR the preempt choice is organized on R2.

R2(config-if)#standby 5 antecedency 150 preempt

1d11h: %STANDBY-6-STATECHANGE: Ethernet0 Group 5 land Standby -> Active

R2#show standby

Ethernet0 - Group 5

Local land is Active, antecedency 150, haw preempt

Hellotime 4 sec, holdtime 12 sec

Next greeting dispatched in 1.844

Virtual IP come is 172.12.23.10 configured

Active router is local

Standby router is 172.12.23.3 expires in 10.204

Virtual mac come is 0000.0c07.ac05

2 land changes, terminal land modify 00:00:13

In meet a some seconds, a communication appears that the topical land has denaturized from histrion to active. Show histrion confirms that R2, the topical router, is today the astir router - the primary. R3 is today the standby. So if anyone tells you that you hit to verify a router downbound to modify the Active router, they're criminal - you meet hit to ingest the preempt choice on the histrion antecedency command.

Another alive conception of HSRP configurations is lettered how to modify the MAC come of the realistic router, as substantially as programme tracking. We'll countenance at those features in the incoming conception of my HSRP tutorial!
