  1. S7C8 Hot Standby Router Protocol RFC 2281 Provides fault tolerance Backup and load sharing

  2. Traditional Routing • Default gateways • When router with default gateway fails, entire campus loses connectivity • Proxy ARP • Again, does not work when proxy router fails • RIP • Limitation 15 hops; slow convergence • ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) • Finds new router (not a routing protocol) – RFC 1256

  3. HSRP Explained • Set of routers work together to form single virtual standby router (single MAC & IP address) • Packets still routed when original router fails • Standby router begins to function • Routers exchange information to determine who forwards traffic • Routers recognize own MAC & group MAC address • Routers who only recognize single MAC address use HSRP MAC address when the active router and BIA address when in standby mode

  4. HSRP Members • Active router • Forwarding packets at present time • Standby router • Takes over when active router fails • Monitors operational status of active HSRP router • Limit of 255 standby groups on a given LAN • Virtual router • Name given to group of routers • One router may be member of several groups • Other routers

  5. HSRP and ISL • HSRP over ISL not possible <IOS 11.3 • Eliminates situations when a single point of failure causes interruptions • Define encapsulation type • Configure IP address • Enable HSRP

  6. Multiple HSRP Groups • Only active router forwards packets • Each VLAN requires separate HSRP group • Multiple standby groups may coexist – each group emulates a virtual router • Routers may participate in multiple groups • One IP and MAC address for each group • Up to 255 standby groups on one LAN –load splitting can be achieved by distributing hosts among different standby groups

  7. Electing an Active Router • Hello messages sent and received • Contain a priority level – default 100 • Router with highest priority becomes active • If priorities are same, highest IP address wins • Only active router forwards packets

  8. HSRP Messages • Use port 1985 and multicast address • Fields include: • Version, Op Code, Hello/Group/Reserved, state, hellotime, holdtime, priority, group id, authentication, virtual IP address

  9. HSRP States • Initial – configuration change • Learn – waiting to hear from active router • Listen – knows virtual IP address; listens for hello messages • Speak – sends periodic hello messages • Standby – candidate to become next active router • Active – forwarding packets; sends hellos

  10. HSRP Configuration • (config-if)# standby 10 ip n.n.n.n • IP address is for virtual router • (config-if)#standby 10 priority 110 • (config-if)#standby 10 preempt • Enables active router to reassume forward role • (config-if)#standby 10 timers 10 20 • Defaults are 3 and 10; range is 0-255 • (config-if)#standby 10 track S01 9 • (config-if)#no standby 10 track S01 9 • (config)#show standby S01 group brief • (config)#debug standby
