Hi all,
I was doing a HSRP lab. Two routers have their E0 connected to hub. A Win95
PC is also connected to the hub. S0 of both routers connected to a remote
router with a PC on E0 of remote router. Routing Protocol: EIGRP.
Now, before configuring HSRP on the local routers, if I disconnect E0 on
Router A from the hub, the PC connected to the hub should not be able to
forward packets because its default gateway (Router A) is down.
However, I find that the PC can still communicate with the remote network -
the second router (Router B) forwards the packets!! This is something I
didn't know before - and the OS on the PC is Windows 95!!!
My questions:
1. Is this a Win95 feature ??? (doubtful as it sounds!!)
2. Is this something to do with RDP ???
3. Is this something to do with ARP ??? (PC broadcasts for default gateway
and Router B replies when router A is down??).
If 2 and 3 are true, what's the purpose of HSRP ???
Thanks in advance,
Bharat Suneja
