Enabling Hsrp Support For Icmp Redirect Messages; Configuring Hsrp Groups And Clustering - Cisco IE-4000 Software Configuration Manual

Chapter Configuring HSRP and VRRP
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/1
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# standby 1 authentication word
Switch(config-if)# end
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 gigabitethernet1/1
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# standby 1 ip
Switch(config-if)# standby 1 timers 5 15
Switch(config-if)# end

Enabling HSRP Support for ICMP Redirect Messages

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a network layer Internet protocol that provides
message packets to report errors and other information relevant to IP processing. ICMP provides
diagnostic functions, such as sending and directing error packets to the host.
When the switch is running HSRP, make sure hosts do not discover the interface (or real) MAC addresses
of routers in the HSRP group. If a host is redirected by ICMP to the real MAC address of a router and
that router later fails, packets from the host will be lost.
ICMP redirect messages are automatically enabled on interfaces configured with HSRP. This feature
filters outgoing ICMP redirect messages through HSRP, in which the next hop IP address might be
changed to an HSRP virtual IP address.

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 cluster command switch. If the standby group name or number does not exist, or if the switch is
a cluster member switch, an error message appears.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp routing-redundancy
Switch(config)# end
Troubleshooting HSRP
If one of the situations in Table 47-63
%FHRP group not consistent with already configured groups on the switch stack -
virtual MAC reservation failed
occurs, this message appears:
