I am assuming that both these are sup1/msfc1 modules...

This was because the entire chassis of course booted. The secondary module did however become the primary almost immediately following the reload command. Now I figure that if I just removed the primary blade the system would failover immediately and not reboot my 10/100/1000 blades. To my surprise, this resulted in again 1 minute and 50 seconds downtime and network connectivity was restored. BTW The blades also appeared to reboot. In terms of High Availability am I missing something? Considering these results what would deter me from just sticking to HSRP. I am a novice and looking for some constructive input.
