Sheet1 HSPR Hot Standby Router Protocol Cisco proprietary Purpose: Make several MLS or routers appear as a single

e gateway IP Address. Those routers form a HSRP Group: Group numbers go fron 0 to 255 Up to 16 groups are supported Locally significant to the interface

Roles:

Primary/active Standby (monitors hello messages from active router) Listen HSRP state hello sent to 224.0.0.2 UDP 1985 every 3 seconds by default

Messages:

Router election: Based on priority: Goes from 0 to 255 100 is the default value Higher priority rules. Tie-breaker: higher IP address in HSRP interface The first router to bring up its HSRP interface becomes active router even it has the lowest priority. If other router with higher priority goes up and has preemption configured, gets the active role. Interface State sequence: Disable Init Listen Speak Standby Active Timers: hello Holdtime Conceding election: when link degrades to a certain level, the router gives away the active role. The decrement value is 10 by default. Preemption is necessary on the other router to gain the active role. Addressing: IP address of the interface in unique there is a common gateway IP address, A.K.A. HSRP Address Special MAC Address: 0000.0c07.acxx xx is the HSRP group number in hex. Load Balancing this is not possible with a single HSRP group Two groups are needed. 3 seconds by default 1 to 254 sec or 15 to 999 msec 10 seconds or 3 times hello timer by default 1 to 255 sec or 50 to 3000 msec
