I have an HSRP config set up utilizing Vlans and I have added interface
tracking in order to switch active routers when one of the interfaces
go down.
Thanks to Boyan Krosnov I located the Cisco docs on how to configure this
setup and followed it.
Now when I down the circuit (admin or just go disconnect it) the primary
switch knows that it is down and resets its priority, but it will not
release its active state.
As it shows below, the interface is down and the priority is now 95, but
it is still in active state. The BACKUP switch clearly has the highest
priority, and assumed the active role, but the primary never went to
standby.
When I manually change the priority of the backup switch, the primary
immediately goes into standby.
Has anyone seen this before..?
