Hi @leninpandian ,

Apparently all fa1-7 ports under Default Vlan1

A: That's right.

The addressing for those ports must be done in the interface vlan1

Check this guide:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/800/software/configuration/guide/SCG800Guide/SCG800_Guide_BookMap_chapter_010.html#con_1220740

Configuring the Fast Ethernet LAN Interfaces

The Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces on your router are automatically configured as part of the default VLAN and are not configured with individual addresses. Access is provided through the VLAN.

Hello,

--> 

Router_Primary#SH RUN ALL | i 192.168.1.1
standby 0 ip 192.168.1.1

What interface is this configured under ? Try and default the interface in question:

C891#conf t

C891(config)#default interface x
