[c-nsp] Tuning HSRP timers for BGP routers

[Matthew Huff]

We have a pair of Cisco 7204VXR with NPE-G2 running 15.1(4)M3. We are using
default timers for the HSRP interfaces, and we are seeing nightly HSRP state
changes. Not a lot, but 1-2 a night. This appears to only have started
recently.  We are looking at logs, but I assume it's due to BGP cpu
exhaustion. We don't see any L2 errors on the VLAN where the HSRP is
running, so I don't think it's a physical problem. 

 

What timers do people use for HSRP on BGP routers as a practice?  Obviously
we want the smallest timers that would be possible.
