Configuring HSRP on a 3560 Switch

[sherry_henderson_7]

It is my understanding that you can only configure HSRP in the Vlan Interface on a 3560 Catalyst Switch. If this is correct than the ip default-gateway is not needed since by ip addresses are the same?

Hi!

You are correct, the necessity of ip default-gateway is only for administrative issues in L2 switches, Catalyst 3560 is L3, thus there is a routing process in order to maintain comunication between networks segments.

The virtual ip addres in HSRP is the same for the configuration in group of routers at the vlan interfaces.
