HSRP Status
To affectation the cachet of the HSRP router, admission the afterward command in advantaged EXEC
mode.
Router#show standby type-number accumulation brief
The command options for this command are authentic as follows:
• type-number—This alternative altercation indicates the ambition interface blazon and cardinal for
which achievement is displayed.
• group—This alternative altercation indicates a specific HSRP accumulation on the interface for
which achievement is displayed.
• brief—This advantage displays a distinct band of achievement summarizing anniversary standby group.
If these alternative interface ambit are not indicated, the appearance standby command displays
HSRP advice for all interfaces. Example 9-5 presents the achievement consistent back the typenumber
and accumulation ambit are specified.
Example 9-6 demonstrates achievement consistent back the abrupt constant is specified.
Troubleshooting HSRP
The Cisco IOS accomplishing of HSRP supports the alter command. Enabling debug
displays the HSRP accompaniment changes and debugging advice apropos manual and receipt
of HSRP packets. To accredit HSRP debugging, admission the afterward command in privileged
EXEC mode:
Router#debug standby

CAUTION Activating the alter command can account your arrangement to be abstract due to the aerial priority
assigned to this action in the CPU. Use with caution!
Example 9-7 displays the alter standby command achievement as the router with the IP address
192.168.100.1 initializes and negotiates for the role of the alive router.
The achievement of this alter command shows the assorted states of HSRP. The states are initial,
listen, learn, speak, standby, and active. In the end, VLAN100 is in an alive state.
To attenuate the debugging feature, admission either the no alter standby command or the no debug
all command. You may additionally use undebug standby or undebug all.

Scenarios
The afterward scenarios and questions are advised to draw calm the agreeable of the chapter
and exercise your compassionate of the concepts. There is not necessarily a appropriate answer. The
thought action and convenance in manipulating the concepts is the ambition of this section.

In Figure 9-8, Host X is appliance an appliance that requires uninterruptible admission to the Internet.
We charge accredit HSRP on the two routers so that one will booty over in the accident of a abortion of
either of the T1 admission links to the Internet.
1 Assuming we are appliance a standby accumulation of 99 and the basal router IP abode is
192.168.1.2, configure basal HSRP on Router X. Assume the interface is VLAN 100.
2 Configure Router B to be the alive router.

The answers provided in this area are not necessarily the alone accessible actual answers. They
merely represent one achievability for anniversary scenario. The ambition is to analysis your abject knowledge
and compassionate of the concepts discussed in this chapter.
Should your answers be altered (as they acceptable will be) accede the differences. Are your
answers in band with the concepts of the answers provided and explained here? If not, go back
and apprehend the affiliate again, absorption on the sections accompanying to the botheration scenario.
The key actuality is for you to accretion an compassionate of the topics.
Scenario 9-1 Answers
1 To actuate HSRP on an interface, you charge use the standby command as follows:
interface Vlan10
ip abode 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
standby 99 ip 192.168.1.2
2 Configuring Router B to be the alive router involves the use of the antecedence command as
shown in the afterward sample configuration:
interface Vlan10
ip abode 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
standby 99 ip 192.168.1.2
standby 99 antecedence 150
3 Building on the agreement as we go forward, we add the accroach command to allow
Router B to balance as the alive router:
interface Vlan10
ip abode 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
standby 99 ip 192.168.1.2
standby 99 antecedence 150
standby 99 preempt
4 Continue to body on the agreement actuality by abacus the timers command. Use the
standard convenance of accepting holdtime at atomic three times the hellotime.
interface Vlan10
ip abode 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
standby 99 ip 192.168.1.2
standby 99 antecedence 150
standby 99 preempt
standby 99 timers 10 30
