HSRP problem

[rdessert]

I am attempting to set up HSRP between two 2600 series routers, and am having an issue. One of the routers does not leave the Init stage. From the debugs it appears that the router 1 (the one I want to be the active router) is not participating in HSRP for some reason?

Here are the configs and debug info.

Router 1:

interface Ethernet0/0

description HSRP primary LAN connection

ip address 158.48.96.42 255.255.240.0

no ip redirects

no ip directed-broadcast

standby 10 priority 110

standby 10 preempt

standby 10 ip 158.48.96.44

standby 10 track Serial0/1.127 15

Hi,

For routers 1 and 2 to participate in the same HSRP group, they have to be on the same LAN. From the config you showed, they are not on the same LAN. Router 1 is on 158.48.96.42/255.255.240.0 but router 2 is on 10.48.96.43/255.255.240.0

From your configuration you have two routers and an interface off each of them however the ip subnets are different. They need to be on the same subnet in order to track the virtual ip (standby IP). Your HSRP is init because the HSRP hellos are not getting to the interfaces because of their ip subnets differences. You need to configure the routers with a common vlan subnet. then configure HSRP for those interfaces with a virtual IP on the same subnet. This way traffic will go on the active HSRP router and if a failure the standby router will go into effect. Both the virtual IP must be common for both routers....Good Luck...

Hi

On router 1 you have 158.48.x.x.

On router 2 you have 10.48.x.x

Is this intentional ?

Jon

[rdessert]

My apologies!! I tried to edit the actual IP address and put 10 in place of 158 and I missed that 158. So much for my attempt at security!

The actual configs are that both interfaces are on the 158.48.x.x

You are missing a preempt on router2. However, this shouldn't affect router1 from becoming active.

Can you post the show version from router1 ?

Do you have any ACL between these 2 routers ?

The device where they are connected, the switch, is not blocking any multicast packets, isn't it ?

[ougryphon]

From the IOS documentation, it looks like the hello and holdtimes should not be zero. The default values are 3 and 10 seconds respectively. Doing a quick search, I didn't see any documentation about what would happen if these values were 0, but you might try changing them to the defaults and see if the router comes up as the active router.

Hi,

Have alook at this link it may help

You might want to change your duplex to match on each side , one side is full duplex and the other is half which is a duplex mismatch . Set router 2 to half duplex and see if anything changes.

Hi...

Use the below template on both routers and you will have no problem..

Primary Router

------------------------------

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address

standby 1 ip

standby 1 timers 5 15

standby 1 priority 105

standby 1 preempt

standby 1 track Serial0/0 ! check interface

backup Router

-----------------------------

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address

standby 1 ip

standby 1 timers 5 15

standby 1 preempt

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will be able to work on this again tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.
