Chapter 6 Clustering Switches
These abbreviations are appended to the switch host names in the Standby Command Group list to show
their eligibility or status in the cluster standby group:
•
•

You must enter a virtual IP address for the cluster standby group. This address must be in the same subnet
as the IP addresses of the switch. The group number must be unique within the IP subnet. It can be from
0 to 255, and the default is 0. The group name can have up to 31 characters.
The Standby Command Configuration window uses the default values for the preempt and name
commands that you have set by using the CLI. If you use this window to create the HSRP group, all
switches in the group have the preempt command enabled. You must also provide a name for the group.
The HSRP standby hold time interval should be greater than or equal to 3 times the hello time interval.
Note
The default HSRP standby hold time interval is 10 seconds. The default HSRP standby hello time
interval is 3 seconds. For more information about the standby hold time and hello time intervals, refer
to the Cisco IOS Release 12.1 documentation set on Cisco.com.
