hsrp with bgp

[prashantrecon]

We want to configure bgp with hsrp .We have nearly 10 site to site tunnels.

If we go head with above config is there any problemn we  can face regarding site to site tunnel.

Clarity required on your question. Can you please share a topology of the setup?

Thanks

Hi vivek,

I have router and firewall placed  behind router.we are planiing to purchase another router so that we can implement

hsrp .Currently i have two links terminated on router with bgp running.

On firewall nearly 10 site to site tunnel are running.

My question is if i implement hsrp will this effect the tunnel.

With hsrp if active router goes down and then standy will become active this may effect tunnel.

Hi prashanth,

As you have IPSEC terminated behind your routers., a stateful failover of IPSEC vpn's is not achievable. You will have a tunnel drop for a period of time & then reestablish. If you were to terminate the ipsec tunnels on the router, then a stateful failover is possible (depends on your hardware support).

Thanks
