[c-nsp] EIGRP HSRP Successors

Hello,

I'm working on a test configuration for hsrp between two switches
where i'm running eigrp, and I'm wondering if its best practice to
leave the added successors in the route list?

For example, after I made vlan 501 into an hsrp enabled vlan between
the two switches it added itself as an equal path route to the
original one on vlan 4001.

P 10.11.56.0/24, 2 successors, FD is 3840
        via 10.5.8.2 (3840/3584), Vlan501
        via 10.100.4.1 (3840/3584), Vlan4001
P 172.16.8.0/23, 2 successors, FD is 3584
        via 10.5.8.2 (3584/3328), Vlan501
        via 10.100.200.1 (67840/3328), Vlan2200
P 192.168.72.0/24, 2 successors, FD is 3840
        via 10.5.8.2 (3840/3584), Vlan501
        via 10.100.4.1 (3840/3584), Vlan4001
P 172.16.42.0/24, 2 successors, FD is 4096
        via 10.5.8.2 (4096/3840), Vlan501
        via 10.100.4.1 (4096/3840), Vlan4001


If I want to hsrp enable all of the vlan's on the switch so that its
completly redundant, I might have up to 10-20 equal paths between the
switches....is this ok practice to leave it like this?  Or should I be
removing the routes somehow?

Thanks,
Dan.
