Hi everybody.
Please consider the following:
standby 1 preempt delay reload 1000
My book says the above command will cause the router to wait for 1000 seconds after it has been reloaded/restarted before preempting the current "active" router.
I put the above command to test by following lab:
R1-----------------------R2
R1 is currently in " active" state while R2 is in " standby" state.
I configured the following command on R2 as shown below:
(config-if)#standby 1 preempt delay reload 1000
R2(config-if)#end
*Mar 1 00:03:51.967: %HSRP-5-STATECHANGE: FastEthernet0/0 Grp 1 state Standby -> Active
====================================================================
But the router did not react the way it was expected. It should have waited 1000 seconds after the it was restarted/reloaded before assuming " active" state. On the contrary, it immediately assumes " active " state though it was not even reloaded/restarted.
I appreciate any help
Thanks and have a nice week
