Hello,
I created mesh topology to learn/exercise features for exam and among others there is HSRP.
HSRP looks to work to fine and do the job as intended. My concern is about frames flooding out of all interfaces. Switch should learn mac address of HSRP virtual interface after few frames but not in my case. After countinous ping it's flooding all the time and I was concern about bandwidth usage. It should work like this or I just missconfigured something? Maybe PT bug?
Just checked DSW1 and DSW2 HSRP virtual mac address and on both it is the same. It should be, right? I wanted also to divide logic topology with PVST+ and it looks to work fine to. Vlan2 root switch is DSW1 and for vlan1 and vlan3 there is DSW2.
DSW1#show standby Vlan2 - Group 2 State is Active 5 state changes, last state change 00:00:37 Virtual IP address is 192.168.0.1 Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0C07.AC02 Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0C07.AC02 (v1 default) Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec Next hello sent in 1.034 secs Preemption enabled Active router is local Standby router is unknown Priority 200 (configured 200) Group name is hsrp-Vl2-2 (default)
DSW2#show standby Vlan2 - Group 2 State is Standby 18 state changes, last state change 00:08:10 Virtual IP address is 192.168.0.1 Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0C07.AC02 Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0C07.AC02 (v1 default) Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec Next hello sent in 1.958 secs Preemption disabled Active router is 192.168.0.2, priority 200 (expires in 7 sec) MAC address is 0000.0C07.AC02 Standby router is local Priority 100 (default 100) Group name is hsrp-Vl2-2 (default)
DSW1 HSRP config:

DSW2 HSRP config:

Hello,
PT oftentimes doesn't work the way a 'real' network would. Can you post the .pkt project file ?
