Hooman,
HSRP is supposed to provide a virtual MAC address along with an IP address.
If you're on a Windows computer, you should be able to do an "arp -a" and
see the same MAC for your HSRP IP address regardless of which device is the
HSRP Active device.
Now on the other hand, the switch that your PC is connected to may have a
different switch interface mapped to that virtual interface in its mac
address table. This may be a "bandaid", but you could always specify a
really short mac-address timeout value for that specific virtual address on
your switch. Not sure if that is needed or preferred though. It seems as
though the switch should very quickly learn the new interface that the
virtual MAC address is showing up on and adjust the MAC address table
accordingly???
Anyone else have any insight?
