Subject: [c-nsp] HSRP Query


Hi,

I have a small query with regards to the HSRP setup.

Mainly I would like to know if it is possible to put the HSRP address in
another subnet - different from the interface address. It seems that it
is
possible but the HSRP does not seem to created the connected route in
the
routing table. Therefore for it to work I have to add a static route
which I
believe defeats the whole purpose of HSRP?

Ex.

interface Ethernet0/0/0
 description Internal Management Interface
 ip address 192.168.1.12 255.255.255.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip accounting access-violations
 ip route-cache flow
 standby 1 ip 172.17.0.2
 standby 1 timers 5 15
 standby 1 priority 110
 standby 1 preempt
!


IP does not response to ping because not in routing table. Once a static
route is added (as below), it works fine.

Try putting a secondary IP address on the interface in the 172.17.0.2
subnet and that should do it.
