Configuring Layer 3 Redundancy With HSRP: Implementing High Availability in A Campus Environment

This document discusses implementing high availability in a campus environment using HSRP. It covers configuring HSRP standby groups, the active and standby routers, HSRP states, and configuration commands. HSRP provides router redundancy to end devices by allowing routers to work as a group to maintain forwarding if a router fails. An HSRP-enabled router can be in initial, learn, listen, speak, standby, or active states. HSRP is configured using the standby command on an interface to enable router redundancy.

HSRP

Standby group: The set of routers participating in HSRP that jointly


emulate a virtual router
The Active Router

The active router responds to ARP requests with the MAC address
of the virtual router.
The Virtual Router MAC Address
The Standby Router

The standby router listens for periodic hello messages on 224.0.0.2.


Active and Standby Router Interaction
HSRP States

An HSRP router can be in one of six different states:


• Initial
• Learn
• Listen
• Speak
• Standby
• Active
HSRP State Transition
HSRP Standby Group 1

Router A Router B
Priority Priority
100 50

Initial Initial

Listen Listen
Router A does not
hear any higher
priority than itself, Speak Speak
so promotes itself Router B hears that
to standby. router A has a
Standby Listen higher priority, so
router B returns to
Router A does not
the listen state.
hear an active Active Speak
router, so
promotes itself to
active. Standby
HSRP Standby State

A router in the standby state:


• Is a candidate for active router
• Sends hello messages
• Knows the virtual router IP address
HSRP Active State

A router in the active state:


• Assumes the active forwarding of packets for the virtual router
• Sends hello messages
• Knows the virtual router IP address
HSRP Configuration Commands

Configure
• standby 1 ip 10.1.1.1

Verify
• show running-config
• show standby

Summary

• Router redundancy allows two or more routers to work as a


group to maintain forwarding of IP packets.
• A single default gateway or proxy ARP does not provide the
redundancy required in a campus network.
• HSRP provides router redundancy to end devices.
• HSRP operates to provide nonstop path redundancy for IP.
• An HSRP-enabled router will exist in a specific state or
transition through a series of states.
• HSRP is configured using the standby command.
• HSRP is enabled per interface.
