Dear sorcerer's apprentices,
In doing said challenge, (http://www.fatkid.com/html/260_hsrp.html)
the sollution "redistributes" the ethernet segment into OSPF
(because you are not supposed to run OSPF updates over it)
but you are asked to have minimum externals at R1.
Wouldn't it be better to include the ethernet and make it passive ?
That way you would have 0 externals at R1.
Also, I started to think about "what about the return path?"
Using HSRP here only takes care about traffic going from host (R5 in
lab)
to destination (R1 loopbacks). What about the return ?
If the ethernet interface goes down (or the whole router for that
matter) routing takes care.
But if the interface at a failing link stays up (some switching
topologies
allow for that) then you are in trouble, aren't you ? This seems to be
an HSRP gotcha, not this lab's one...
