Hello Group,
If I have 2 ethernet interfaces routers configured with HSRP, is it necessary to have the "preempt" option on the 2nd (lower priority router)?
Say RouterA
int eth0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
standby 1 ip 192.168.1.10
standby 1 priority 200
standby 1 authentication cisco
standby 1 preempt
And on RouterB
int eth0
ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
standby 1 ip 192.168.1.10
standby 1 priority 150
standby 1 authentication cisco
standby 1 preempt ----- Is this needed?
The logic I am thinking is that since RouterB has a lower HSRP priority, if RouterA is offline, it will become the primary router. But if RouterA is online, it will always be on Standby anyway, so I'm not sure whether there is any need for this.
Any input / advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
H.
