RE: HSRP

[Taiwo Adeshugba]

Naveen, The router with the highest standby priority in the group becomes the active router,but by default the lowest mac address becomes the active router if both the active and standby router fails.also be aware that they also said that if the priorities are the same the router with the highest ip address becomes the active router.so Highest priority Highest ip address if the priorities are the same Lowest Mac address if both the active and standby fails. I WISH THEY JUST TAKE ONE. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Naveen Sharma Sent: 22 November 2000 16:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HSRP Dear friends,   Cisco press book says lowest MAC address router becomes the active router (In HSRP). At other place it says router with highest standby priority becomes the active router.   Can any one clarify the situation of active and standby routers in HSRP.I am confused.   Thanks in advance.   Regards   Naveen
