[c-nsp] 2 x 3550 with HSRP

[Novice]

Hi,

With regds to the below config mentioned dont we have to have authentication
configured on both ends. Thats how i remember it, bcox authentication is to
ensure that we dont exchange HSRP messages with any other device.

Also with rgds to the "preempt" option, i dont know if we really need
to and is a good pract to have it on Switch A as shown below. When
Switch A goes down Switch B preempts and becomes active, but depending
on the situation and policies one may not want to disturb the active
router (Switch B now) to make Switch A active. If this is the case
then "preempt" option is only needed on Switch B and not on switch A.
But if one wants to make Switch A active when it comes back up (and
not Switch B) then use preempt on both.

Switch A - Primary

interface Vlan 6
ip address y.y.y.y
standby 1 priority 110 preempt
standby 1 ip x.x.x.x
standby 1 authentication

Switch B - Secondary

interface Vlan 6
ip address z.z.z.z
standby 1 authentication

Correct me if needed.

HTH.
