Re: standby use-bia and no ip redirect on HSRP

I was under the impression that use-bia is for token
ring only. Perhaps, that's why it is not working as
expected.

In reference to this topic, I've a security question
for our fellow GS.

Lets add a 3550 in the scenerio. You are required to
use port security (aaaa.bbbb.cccc.dddd) for the port
that you have your router plugged into. In order to
maintain operatability on your HSRP, you should use
standby mac-address command for the virtual mac@.

Can someone confirm this please?
