HSRPs are active!!!!

[Ibrahim Jamil]

Hi Expert

Have you seen this issue before , both HSRPs are activebetween R1 AND R2

please help me to solve this issue

[Giuseppe Larosa]

Hello Ibrahim,

there is no HSRP communication between the two routers they don't see each other HSRP hello messages

they both say standby router unknown, as a result both consider themselves active

check the IP connectivity between the two devices, can they ping each other on that IP subnet? They are likely isolated

Hope to help

Giuseppe

  You probably do not have a working L2 path between those interfaces so that the hspf multicast packets can reach each other.  Thus this will put both interfaces into a active state. Those interfaces have to be able to directly talk to each other .
