Hi,
I am testing on lab equipment (2 Catalyst 3550 and 1 Catalyst 3560) HSRP version 1 and 2.
I successfully created a load balancing between the two Catalyst 3550 on a couple of vlans (11 and 12) on ver 1
now, just adding the command "standby xx version 2" my hosts on the 2 vlans are completely unable to ping the virtual IP def. gw
on debugging i checked that
- hello msgs are exchanged
- the two cat 3550 are seeing each other on HSRP (active / standby roles)
- the real ip addresses are pingable
- rebooted the swiches (just as a last resort try)
- deleted arp chache on hosts
- removed the auth on hsrp
all of this no effect...
i also tried to modify the priority on the cat 3560 (before he was on both vlans in standby) to make it the active one and with the same config it worked flawlessly...
My only idea is that there is a bug on CATs 3550 (IOS: c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-55.SE4.bin)
configs:
SW-3550-A
