Configuring Hsrp Groups And Clustering - Cisco WS-C3550-12G Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 23 Configuring HSRP
Command
Step 4 standby [group-number] timers hellotime

Step 6

Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Use the no standby [group-number] authentication string interface configuration command to delete
an authentication string. Use the no standby [group-number] timers hellotime holdtime interface
configuration command to restore timers to their default values.
This example shows how to configure word as the authentication string required to allow Hot Standby
routers in group 1 to interoperate:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# standby 1 authentication word
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to set the timers on standby group 1 with the time between hello packets at 5
seconds and the time after which a router is considered down to be 15 seconds:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# standby 1 ip
Switch(config-if)# standby 1 timers 5 15
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch#

Configuring HSRP Groups and Clustering

When a device is participating in an HSRP standby routing and clustering is enabled, you can use the
same standby group for command switch redundancy and HSRP redundancy. Use the cluster
standby-group HSRP-group-name [routing-redundancy] global configuration command to enable the
same HSRP standby group to be used for command switch and routing redundancy. If you create a
cluster with the same HSRP standby group name without entering the routing-redundancy keyword,
HSRP standby routing is disabled for the group.
This example shows how to bind standby group my_hsrp to the cluster and enable the same HSRP group
to be used for command switch redundancy and router redundancy. The command can only be executed
on the command switch. If the standby group name or number does not exist, or if the switch is a member
switch, an error message appears.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp routing-redundancy
Switch(config)# end

Purpose
(Optional) Configure the time between hello packets and the
time before other routers declare the active router to be down.
• group-number—The group number to which the command
applies.
• hellotime—The hello interval in seconds. The range is from
1 to 255; the default is 3 seconds.
holdtime—The time in seconds before the active or standby
•
router is declared to be down. The range is from 1 to 255;
the default is 10 seconds.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration of the standby groups.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
