Hi Guys,

 

I just learned about a 6500 feature called Single Router Mode (SRM). With
this feature enabled on a 6500 with dual MSFC's, if one MSFC goes down the
other takes over.

If I have a choice between using this feature versus using HSRP which
feature provides between fault-tolerance?

 

Can anyone speak to the pro's and con's of using SRM vs HSRP?

 

TIA, Tim
