HSRP backup taking two minutes

[majed.balsharaf]

Hi

   I configure HSRP on Router 2951 as a primary router, and Router 2811 as backup router. But when I am switching off my Primary router the backup router is  taking 2 mins to take over form primary router. 

Primary Router

Wan interface g0/1

Lan interface g0/0

Backup Router

Wan interface f0/1

Lan interface f0/0

Kind Regards

Hi,

Can you post configs form both routers?

[Richard Burts]

I agree that seeing the configurations would be a good starting place. I believe that it may also be helpful to see some information about how the routers are connected. Are the routers connected to switches? to the same switch? to multiple switches?

Can we see the configuration of the switch ports where the routers are connected and the output of show interface for these ports?
