HSRP 2 ISP Scenario

[Henry Martel]

We have a customer who has a network consisting of two ISPs, one as a primary and the other as a backup. The customer would like us to use HSRP for the failover. The problem is the customer wants the configuration done with the two ISP routers connected to a 3550. He is under the impression that it can be done this way. ISP 1 []--------[_]3550------[] ISP2. From my understanding of HSRP can only be done with Cisco router and not ISP routers. Can this scenario be done?

Hi,

Can you please clarify what do u mean by ISP routers..?

If the 2 cisco routers are connected to a switch then HSRP is possible.

The two routers at the customer prem are non cisco routers. And from what i understand isn't HSRP is a ciso proprietary protocol?

if they are not cisco then u can consider vrrp for this
