HSRP Configuration Guide

Gateway Redundancy

Goal

Configure HSRP on two routers so they provide a single virtual default gateway with automatic failover — a scored Packet Tracer activity.

Gateway Redundancy

R1#
! R1 (primary)
interface g0/0/0
 ip address <r1-lan-ip> <mask>
 standby version 2
 standby <group> ip <virtual-gw-ip>
 standby <group> priority <higher>
 standby <group> preempt
 standby <group> track interface g0/0/1 decrement <n>

! R2 (secondary)
interface g0/0/0
 ip address <r2-lan-ip> <mask>
 standby version 2
 standby <group> ip <virtual-gw-ip>
 standby <group> priority <lower>
 standby <group> preempt

Scoring Checklist (typical)

1) HSRP version 2 on both routers. 2) Correct group number and virtual IP. 3) Correct real interface IPs. 4) Priority values per the table (primary higher). 5) preempt. 6) Interface tracking (decrement value per table). 7) Final state: one router Active, one Standby; virtual gateway answers pings.
