HSRP is for backing up LAN connections. It will not work in your situation as I understand it.
If you're using OSPF you could restructure things so that your border routers are injecting 0.0.0.0/0 as an E1 route into the area. If you let those propagate throughout your network each router will choose the closest available exit. This assumes that this use of default routing won't break something else you're doing. Perhaps you could also do this manually using weighted static default routes in your areas.

Each facillity has it's own connection to the internet with default routes set accordingly. Each facillity then has statics back to each of the other facillites. Currently their is no redundancy in the internet connectivity. If one site loses it's internet T, then it's down until that T comes back. Nobody has ever complained about this being an issue, but it just seems a bit silly to pay for 6 T's and not get full use of them. I have never setup hsrp before and am reading about it right now. But is hsrp all that I need to accomplish this task? each facillity has mulitple networks seperated by it's core layer3 switch, then the wan links are either 2600's or 3600's thanks! -Patrick Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=29425&t=29417 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
