Weird client config, is it possible to configure hsrp?

Is hsrp possible without adding additional router?

the PC’s sit behind R2 on 10.0.0.2/24 subnet.

SVI’s are configured on R1 and R2.

 

client is asking to implement hsrp. I am kinda confused as to how?5C2219D0-7BB5-4C71-A213-84C29B765183.jpeg

For theory, it can but still if R1 " which is i think l3sw" failed then host can not access beyond.

But if you looking for wan link failure then yes you can run hsrp.

If R1 loss wan then traffic pass via l2 link to R2 wan access.

you must config the host and R1 and R2 with same VLAN "10" to make harp work.

In this high-level diagram, what is lower-level connections ?,  where the device connected ? is the switch is a dual home connected to both the routers? then HSPR is valid, as suggested there is no advantage. if the end switch has single home connection.

It is not clear whether R1 and R2 are routers or are layer 3 switches (and perhaps that does not matter). The drawing shows vlans and switchports which suggests that these are switches. 

The drawing shows R1 and R2 as directly connected. If they are directly connected then HSRP would not be helpful. For HSRP to be helpful the end station needs to be able to access either of the HSRP peers independently.

Also the drawing shows R1 and R2 connected on vlan 10 and in one subnet and shows the end station connected in vlan 11 and in a different subnet. So the connection between R1 and R2 is a routed link, and HSRP would not be helpful.
