We have the below config on our distribution switches.Dist-B is the Active switch for VLAN117 and I am tracking the uplink on the Dist-B so the priority will go down by 15 if the uplink (g1/1) goes down.
Dist-A
interface Vlan117
ip address 10.5.117.2 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.0.1.3
ip helper-address 10.0.1.9
standby 117 ip 10.5.117.1
Dist-B
interface Vlan117
ip address 10.5.117.3 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.0.1.3
ip helper-address 10.0.1.9
standby 117 ip 10.5.117.1
standby 117 priority 110
standby 117 preempt delay minimum 180
standby 117 track 1 decrement 15
We had an issue with our SFP and g1/1 on thr DIST-B went down as specified in the tracking statement the priority on dist-B became 95 but the state change didn't happen. Dist-B with priority 95 acted as the HSRP active switch and dist-A switch priority 100 acted as a standby switch.Why didn't switch with higher priority, disr-A, took over the active role. Do I have to configure preempt command on dist-A for it take over role from a low priority switch?
