[nsp] HSRP 6500/SUP2

[Robert A. Hayden]

HSRP handles the Layer 3 failover just fine.  Use per-VLAN rapid spanning
tree to handle the Layer 2 cutover.  Set up the VLAN on an interlink port
between the boxes as well.  Set the spanning tree priority for your
primary switch to 0 and on your backup as 4096.

I'm doing this for our campus network using 6513s and 6506s in Hybrid
Mode and it works pretty good.
