HSRP Issue

[kzhen]

Below is the switch diagram. As you can see, sw01 is directly connected to SW02 and sw02 is also connected to SW03.

SW01 <-----> SW02 <----> SW03

Each switch has three VLAN's.

SW01: VLAN1: 10.10.1.1 , VLAN2:10.10.2.1 and VLAN3: 10.10.3.1

SW02: VLAN1: 10.10.1.2 , VLAN2: 10.10.2.2 and VLAN3: 10.10.3.2

SW03: VLAN1: 10.10.1.3 , VLAN2: 10.10.2.3 and VLAN3: 10.10.3.3

I have two questions about HSRP.

1. Can I run HSRP for VLAN 2 on three switches?

2. Can I run HSRP for VLAN2 on Sw01 and SW03 even thought they are not directly connected each other?

Please advise.

Hi,

1- Yes you can.

2- Yes you can as long as they have IP reachability.

Hi,

You can run HSRP for vlan 2 on three switches and also you can run HSRP on sw1 and sw3 till you have reachablity of the interface ip's of the switches.
