Introduction to the hot standby router protocol hsrp. In computer networking, the hot standby router protocol hsrp is a cisco proprietary redundancy protocol for establishing a faulttolerant default gateway. Hsrp version 1 routers communicate by sending messages to multicast group address 224. To confirm, i just have track 1 track 1 ip route 0. The differences between hsrp versus vrrp are very slight especially when looking at the basic configuration side by side. High availability is an organizational objective that enables resilience by increasing network availability and includes the following components. The protocol establishes an association between gateways in order to achieve. Ip sla config and static route tracking grandmetric. When it detects a change, it schedules a next hop scan to adjust the next hop in the bgp table. Next we assign the ip address we want used as our default gateway using the standby command. I was thinking of putting in some ip sla config to install a new default route, but.
Ehanced object tracking eot can then be used to create a track object that decrements the priority of the hsrp active router when the icmp echo probe fails. Hsrp can change priority by interface tracking when a specific interface is tracked, hsrp reduces the routers priority by a configurable amount as soon as the interface goes down. The next hop ip address is compared to the list of active hsrp devices on that network. First hop redundancy protocols configuration guide, cisco.

Apr 16, 2012 for this time, we will work a little with hsrp and some sla tracking. The point is to use object tracking to ensure that your traffic is not blackholed because of a lost interface next hoproute on the hsrp primary. Hsrp interface tracking network warrior, 2nd edition book. Object tracking for any service that uses enhanced object tracking is the same.
Version 1 of the protocol was described in rfc 2281 in 1998. Figure 3 depicts a selection from network warrior, 2nd edition book. Routers r1 and r2 have hsrp configured on lan side hsrp ip. In a group of router interfaces, the active router is the router of choice for routing packets. It will also send pim messages from the virtual ip which is useful in situations where you have a router with a static route towards an virtual ip vip. As we can see, the hsrp state of r2 went back to init while the hsrp state of r3 moved to active. Both esw1 and esw2 have svis and are configured with ipsla with tracking of. Hsrp, in a quite easy way, can track one interface, so, like in the example, if the link goes down, it can loose priority and let the standby router to become the active one. Hsrp interface tracking while hsrp is a wonderful solution that enables recovery from router or ethernet interface failures, its basic functionality falls short in another area. May 12, 2016 you can watch the full lab by topic at the links below. In the most simple example imagine that router a has a priority of 50 and router b has a priority of 49. This feature filters outgoing icmp redirect messages through hsrp, in which the next hop ip address might be changed to an hsrp virtual ip address. Setting static routing on the layer 3 device is the fastest way to achieve communication in routed ip networks. This set is known as an hsrp group or a standby group.
Below is the tracking configuration with boolean object tracking so that if any of the ip sla tracking mechanisms fail, the standby router will become active. Jul 29, 2015 the next option is to use ip sla that sends icmp echo towards the next hop of the wan or some destination further into the network. This standby ip is the address that can swap between the two routers in the event of an outage. After detecting a change, the next hop scan has a default delay of 5 seconds. The next option is to use ip sla that sends icmp echo towards the next hop of the wan or some destination further into the network. To book an appointment, please click on the customers icon, proceed to appointments page and further. Tracking is only for hsrp to detect some changes in the routing table.
September 10, 2010 the hot standby router protocol hsrp is a first hop redundancy protocol fhrp designed to allow for transparent failover of the firsthop ip router. The customer has had issues with up stream routing in the past, but because the interfaces are up the router thinks everything is fine and doesnt failover. Hsrp is a routing protocol that provides backup to a router in the event of failure. The gateway in the routing table however contains the hsrp virtual address. If a router fails you need a standby router to become the active gateway and forward packets to the next hop. The hot standby router protocol hsrp provides network redundancy for ip networks, ensuring that user traffic immediately and transparently recovers from firsthop failures in network edge devices or access circuits. Configuring static route tracking using ip sla basic. You wouldnt want to forward traffic to a router thats lost its ability to forward the traffic to the next hop, right. Short for hot standby routing protocol, a proprietary protocol from cisco. Hsrp is a fairly simple concept that works by having one router within an hsrp group be selected as the primary, or active router. Tracking can allow you to affect hsrp priority for more specialized circumstances such as lowering the hsrp priority when a wan link on the same router goes down. Ip sla is configured to ping a target, such as a publicly routable ip address or a target inside the corporate network or your next hop ip on the isps router. Any hsrp component with manufacturing defect such as fading of black foil on the alpha numeral characters by natural wear and tear can now be replaced by seeking an online appointment. Below is an example scenario showing how hsrp can be configured to meet the indirect link failures by use of ip sla configuration with hsrp.

Hsrp tracking it tips for systems and network administrators. Routers r1 and r2 have hsrp configured on lan side hsrp ip 192. You must precise this network and point the next hop router which is on the way to reach destination. The original hsrp tracking simply tracked the line protocol of an interface, which you can do with enhanced object tracking, but there are many more things you can do with enhanced object tracking. Interface tracking allows you to specify another interface on the router for the hsrp process to monitor in order to alter the hsrp priority for a given group. By default, when hot standby router protocol is enabled in cisco ios software, version 1 is enabled. Configuring hsrp and enhanced object tracking cisco. If there is no echo response according to given parameters ip sla the track statement takes the flase value and the route is removed from routing table leaving the lasting static route that uses another next hop thus assuring redundancy.
When the router wants to join the multicast group, it looks for the route to the rendezvous point which has the hsrp virtual address as the next hop. First hop redundancy protocols configuration guide, cisco ios. In this part instead of tracking an interface going up or down we can track if the metric of a route to a destination changes or not. Hsrp which stand for hot standby router protocol is considered to be a first hop redundancy protocol or fhrp. But under the covers there are some significant differences. Because this next hop hsrp address is not one of the known pim neighbours, the pimsm rfc specifies no join should be sent. Hsrp version 1 and version 2 are not compatible and use different packet formats. Apr 29, 2015 below is the tracking configuration with boolean object tracking so that if any of the ip sla tracking mechanisms fail, the standby router will become active.

Mar 04, 2015 high availability is an organizational objective that enables resilience by increasing network availability and includes the following components. The point is to use object tracking to ensure that your traffic is not blackholed because of a lost interface next hop route on the hsrp primary. The pings are routed from the primary interface only. As we know, hsrp let us to work with a virtual ip, so we can have some gateway with the same address. Interesting solution, but reconvergence of this topology will occur only if active routerits fa00 falls down, but not if isp gateway for r1 falls, i think we can adjust configuration, add ip sla and track object echorequest for the r1s next hop and use hsrp with this track object, so i guess if isp edge router falls down track is not good no standby command for r1, r2 became. I just tried the same scenario on a topology with several 3800 routers and i still cant seem to get the track to work right with hsrp when tracking the default route. If more than one interface is tracked, the priority is reduced even more with each failed interface. How to configure static routing to particular network. Using hsrp, several routers are connected to the same segment of an ethernet, fddi or tokenring network and work together to present the appearance of a single virtual router on the lan.
Hsrp is cisco s standard method of providing high network availability by providing first hop redundancy for ip hosts on an ieee 802 lan configured with a default gateway ip address. Hsrp is one of the so called fhrp or first hop redundancy protocols. Notice here pc1 on picture, it has an ip address of 10.
