Hello Ben,

The best solution i know for this kind of problem is using IP SLA. Something
like this:

R6:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
!
ip sla monitor 1
 type frame-Relay interface Serial1/0 dlci 601
 timeout 500
 frequency 1
!
track 1 rtr 1
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 6.6.6.6 255.255.255.0
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 standby ip 6.6.6.254
 standby preempt
 standby track 1
!
interface Serial1/0
 ip address 10.10.10.6 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 serial restart-delay 0
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.10.1 601 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
 frame-relay lmi-type cisco
!

R1:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
ip sla monitor responder

Hi

When a question requires HSRP on LAN with R3 and R4 as active/backup, and R4
taking over when R3 looses FR connection, how can you track the FR
interface?

Here is an example:

                             .3
|-------------------------------R3 \
| \
|10.10.1.0/24 FR cloud
| /
|-------------------------------R4 /

Assume FR is configured on physical interface. Would the following qualify
as a solution?

R3
int f0/0
 ip add 10.10.1.3 255.255.255.0
 stand 1 priority 105
 stand 1 preempt
 stand 1 track s0/0
 stand 1 ip 10.10.1.254

R4
int f0/0
 ip add 10.10.1.4 255.255.255.0
 stand 1 preempt
 stand 1 ip 10.10.1.254

I presume this use of the track keyword only tracks the line-protocol on
s0/0, and will therefore not detect when R3 looses IP connectivity to the
other end of its DLCI. A variation of the stand 1 track s0/0 on R3 would be

track 1 interface s0/0 line-protocol
int f0/0
 stand 1 track 1

Another recent discussion on EEK indicated that EEK will not bring down the
interface when the other end is not reachable. How can we then meet the
requirements of the question? Do we have do use a GRE tunnel with keepalive
over the FR link, and track that? Is there any other alternative?

TIA
Ben
