Bharat,
I think you are still working the night shifts and need a break.
PC on remote router WILL NOT be able to "talk to " the Win 95 client connected to the
hub. Period.
If HSRP is not configured
And If
There is one and only one ( Router A ) default gateway configured
And if
There is no entry of Router B interface as gateway 2 ( multiple gateways for one
client is possible)
Then
Win 95 will not talk to remote PC
But if
Win 95 configured with D/G -II = Router B E0,
Then
They will
Else if HSRP
end if
Hope that helps.It will

Subject: HSRP Lab... :-(
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
