HSRP - information about other participants in a group

guillermo.ruiz
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a CLI command or some way  to get some information about which switches (or devices) are participating in a specific HRSP group.

For example, using ''show standby vlan xx'', I asume I only see the active and the standby switches information.......(am I correct?)....what about some information about the other participants?

That is because of I need to modify some HSRP parameters (priority, authentication, timers) in some VLANs switches, but I am not sure if there are some other participants on each HSRP groups that can be affected with the changes....

Any help?

Thanks for any comment.

Best regards,

guruiz

Hi,

What type of device are you using

If you issue "sh hsrp group" you should be to see the active and stand-by devices.

Hi Reza,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately I do not have that command on my switches.

switch#show h?

heartbeat  history  hm  hosts  html

hw-module 

switch#sh standby ?

  GigabitEthernet     GigabitEthernet IEEE 802.3z

  Port-channel        Ethernet Channel of interfaces

  TenGigabitEthernet  Ten Gigabit Ethernet

  Vlan                Catalyst Vlans

  all                 Include groups in disabled state

  brief               Brief output

  capability          HSRP capability

  delay               Group initialisation delay

  internal            Internal HSRP information

  redirect            HSRP ICMP redirect information

  |                   Output modifiers

 

I am using 6509-E platform with s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH8b.bin....

Any ideas?

Hi,

How about "show stand vlan xx"?

HTH

Hi Reza,

That is the command that I am using, but I just only see active and standby information, and I need to be sure if there are other members on each standby group.

switch#  sh standby vlan xyz 

Vlanxyz - Group 1

  State is Active

    2 state changes, last state change 48w2d

  Virtual IP address is a.b.c.1

  Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0c07.ac01

    Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0c07.ac01 (v1 default)

  Hello time 1 sec, hold time 3 sec

    Next hello sent in 0.224 secs

  Authentication text ""

  Preemption enabled, delay min 60 secs

  Active router is local

  Standby router is a.b.c.3, priority 100 (expires in 3.232 sec)

  Priority 110 (configured 110)

  IP redundancy name is "hsrp-Vlxyz-1" (default)

Hi,

I have never had more then one stand-by router, but I would think if you have more then one you would see this section once per stand-by

Standby router is a.b.c.3, priority 100 (expires in 3.232 sec)

HTH

Thanks Reza !

So, if I just see one line like ''Standby router is....'', I will be sure that there is not another member in the specific HSRP group.

That helped me a lot !!

Thanks again.

Hi Reza !

I have created a brief lab on GNS3....3 routers (R1, R2, and R3) connected through a switch.

As you can see from R1 or R2 perpective there is no way to know about R3 !!.

Do you know if could it be a way, a command or a procedure that can help to get information from the other members on the group?, i.e. from R1 or R2 perspective?...(because in customer network I need to be sure if some other members (devices) are connected (or not) in each hsrp group)..

Any help is very appreciated.

guruiz

Hi,

R3#sh standby

FastEthernet1/0 - Group 66

  State is Listen

So, router 1 is active, router 2 is on stand-by and router 3 is in listen mode until the stand-by fails.  And you are correct, there is no where that you can see on the active router that you have 2 stand-by devices and I guess that is because the 3rd one is in listen mode and not stand-by.

Thanks for posting the configs

Reza

Pefectly answered Reza.

Guirez,

The third/fouth standby router will stuck in the listen state as in HSRP at a given point of time there can only be one Active and other as standby. If you confiugred the third or fouth it will be i the listen state and once the standby goes down the one wich is in the listen state of that HSRP group will take the standby role.

Example:

=========

R1 is the configured primary, R2 secondary and R3 tertiary. Note that that the state of R3 is listen until a failover occurs.

If you activate debug for HSRP you might see the other group members announce themselves.
