Assign a different active router to every vlan

[j.akkerman]

Hi,

If i have 2 vlan's(vlan 8, vlan 9). And i have configured HSRP(Router1, Router2). Is it possible to assign Router1 as active router for vlan 8 and Router2 as active router for vlan 9? If yes: How would one archieve this?

Thanks!

By configuring priority under HSRP groups. All is described in documentation.

HI Jan,

As Paolo suggested this all been documented. Please go through the below link and come back to us if you want any clarification on the same.

Just to cut it short:

R1-- Configure high priority for vlan 8 so that it acts as active roter for that hsrp group.

R2--- Configure prirority to be higher for vlan 9 so that it will be active for vlan 9.

Example

R1

int vlan 8

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

standby 8 ip address 8.8.8.8

standby 8 priroity 110 << The default is 100 and when you increase the priority the router will take the active role.

standby 8 prempt.

int vlan 9

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

standby 9 ip address 9.9.9.9

R2:

int vlan 8

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

standby 8 ip address 8.8.8.8

int vlan 9

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

standby 9 ip address 9.9.9.9

standby 9 priroity 110

In this way you will be load balancing both the routers.

HTH
