Catalyst - Nexus HSRP

[Bob Greer]

Hi there,

Thanks for reading.  I have a  WS-C3850-48P-S which is acting as a core/backbone, hosting the network's SVI vlan interfaces.  It was a temporary solution.  Now that the permanent Nexus switch has arrived (N3K-C3548P-10GX), I need to integrate it in the network and move SVIs with as little interruption as possible.

My thinking was to establish HSRP and move the primary role to the Nexus.

Can HSRP run between these dissimilar chasses?  I'm seeing that NXOS supports HSRP v1 & v2 but I'm not seeing a command to verify versioning in the 3850 Catalyst.  I intend to keep the redundancy running only long enough to move the SVIs since the 3850 has its own permanent role elsewhere in the network.

Thanks again!

Bob

Hi @Bob Greer,

Theoretically, the result of the #show standby command indicates when version 2 is configured.

Bob asked sort of a 2 part question: can HSRP run successfully on dissimilar chassis and about a command to verify versioning. Luis has supplied the answer about the command to verify versioning. So let me answer the first part. Yes HSRP should run on dissimilar chassis with no problem.

HI all,

I have some problems with HSRP between Nexus 9k and Cat6500

Two devices linked by L2, trunk port and hsrp running on VLANs, HSRP in Nexus is active and Cat6500 is standby. But some of vlan in 2 devices working ok, but a lot of them not correct, hsrp in nexus and cat6500 also are active, the IP add in vlan interface between 2 devices can not PING and seem the MAC address not regconize in 2 devices

Can anybody help me

Thanks

We do not have enough information about this situation to be able to offer good advice. As a start can you provide a simple diagram of the environment. Also can you post configuration (at least of the interfaces running HSRP) and output of the commands show standby and show cdp neighbor?
