Hey Group!
After reading Cisco's HSRP on CCO, there is still something that is not
clear.
At the moment I have a situation where there are 2 routers, configured for
HSRP.
So, each has a prime ip address and three secondary addresses which are all
configured with HSRP addresses.
So, to summarize, there are 4 subnets configured.
When I do a "sh arp" on RtrA, - all HSRP addresses show the same virtual mac
subnets for RtrB (in RtrA's arp table) are different.
2 subnets appear as "incomplete" and the other two show up with the bia of
the interface.
At the moment RtrA is the active router.
So my question is this..... does the standby router use it's own bia? (while
on standby?)
and, what does "incomplete" mean in the arp table?
Also an interesting observation.............
The HSRP addresses are configured on hosts as the default gateway.
When you ping the HSRP address, it responds ok.
But when I do a traceroute to another network through the gateway, the
physical address is shown in the trace, not the HSRP address. Could this not
be a bit confusing??
