HSRP Lab

Don't know what happened to the rest of the post.

Hi,

I'm playing with a HSRP lab. I have 2 layer 3 switches with 2 access layer switches connected to the layer 3 switches with redundant links, one link going to each layer 3 switch. One layer 3 switch is the span primary and active HSRP for VLAN 1,3 and standby for VLAN 2  and the other is the span primary and active for VLAN 2 and standby for VLANs 1,3.I have a ping going from a host on one access layer switch on VLAN 2 to a host on the other access layer switch on VLAN 3. I have the default HSRP timers set. When I shut int VLAN 2 or VLAN 3 for that matter on the switch that has that active HSRP router, I don't lose any pings between the hosts. I thought that if the active router went down there would be a loss of connectivity for the hold time. No?

Thanks, Pat.
