Standby Router is Unknown in HSRP

Hi Guys,
I found some problem in my lab.
When I attach switch between two routers. Router doesn't form HSRP Completely as appear bellow (Standby Router is unknown). My network working good (but my VPC at far right not consistent when choosing DG. I check it using trace command in VPC). I'm curious about this issue. Is this a bug or I make some mistake in my configuration ??. I'm using EVE-NG in my lab (CISCO IOU/IOL as router and switch virtualization), and using EIGRP as routing protocol.

What you have shown us indicates clearly that when connected via the switch that the routers are not communicating with each other. So there is some issue with the switch. Can you post the configuration of the switch?

Hi Richard,

I make an assumption same like you Rick, maybe something wrong in my Switch, but when I check my switch, everything is okay, and also it still in default configuration.


The following detail bellow is my switch configuration Rick :

end

Thanks for the information. The switch config does look ok. So we need to look a bit deeper. What kind of switch is this? Can you post the output of show interface status from the switch?

 

From each of the routers can you post the following outputs

show cdp neighbor

show ip interface brief

show arp

Use command " no ip igmp snooping " on switch

it will work!

This fixed the issue!
