When is it necessary to configure Preempt while configuring HSRP.
If the requirement is simply configure HSRP between R1 and R2. R1 should be
the first choice, and R2 should be the second choice.
I will simply configure
R1
standby ip 1.1.1.1
standby priority 105
R2
standy ip 1.1.1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------
But if the requirement is R1 should take the role of primary when comes
online
I will then configure
R1
standby ip 1.1.1.1
standby priority 105
standby preempt
I don't think I will need to configure preempt on R2 though.
Sometimes I would see that preempt is configured on both routers that doesn't
not make any sense to me, unless I am missing something.
Regards,
Ahmed
