Thank you for your reply Theo.   It takes a bit of the edge off.  Tests make
me a bit ansi, crouchy ..oh I know the word, but it is not good to put into
an email.

Don't worry about the censoring.  The NDA is there for a reason and if it
keeps the standard(s) of the certification(s) high then I am all for it. 
High standards can generate high salaries in some instances, :).  I lived

Do you mean DPT/SRP?  If so, it is not that difficult to understand, from a
support point of view.  My last employer had DPT/SRP rings deployed in
different cities.  It made moving information around easier and less
expensive. From a technical point of view I would have to reread the
documentation to answer that side of the question. CCO has a few good papers
on what it is and how it functions.

There is a white paper at this URL:

 Yes, HSRP creates a single virtual IP and MAC pair. Yes, when one router
 fails, the standby router assumes control of this virtual IP and MAC
pair.
 
 From an end station standpoint, nothing has changed. The end station knows
 the virtual IP, as configured in it's own settings, or as received as part
 of its DHCP configuration. In either case, no end station knows all of the
 IP's of all of the members of the HSRP group. Unless things have changed
 recently, there is no way to configure multiple default gateways on a
 Windows machine, at least. This is the reason HSRP, and now VRRP, were
 developed. If the end station does not already know the MAC of the default
 gateway, it sends an ARP request, as is standard operating procedure for
any
 host seeking the MAC of an IP. The active router replies with the virtual
 MAC.
 
 You may also want to refer to the VRRP RFC. VRRP is the open standard
 intended to replace the several proprietary methods that now exist. The
 first couple of pages provide a good explanation and a good background of
 the problem to be solved.

 A useful notion to keep in mind is that hsrp and its un-patented
 counterparts (you'd think that during the past century, people would learn
 from IBM's example, but apparently that isn't the case) are profoundly
 asymmetric in scope:
 
 they are concerned with the host-default gateway portion of the
 conversation, not the return path (although implementational specifics
might
 force them to address the return path in some circumstances).

 Each request from the host uses the virtual MAC address in the
destination.
 In my experiments, I was only doing a single ping. There was just one
 request.
 
 
 I understood this to mean that after the initial set up of communications
 that the virtual mac address was not used in subsequent data

 You jumped to the wrong conclusion. Theoretically, the client doesn't even 
 know any other address. How could it use it? Also, how could redundancy 
 work if it used an actual address for an interface that might go down??

Agreed, hence my curiosity.  As mentioned earlier it was a misinterruptation
on my part.  Thank you for taking the time to explain.




 
 Also, you might find it interesting (and confusing) to know that the ARP 
 reply from the active HSRP router actually does come from the real
address.
 But the ARP data in the reply supplies the virtual MAC address. Here is
the
 ARP reply from the active HSRP router after the client ARPed for the 
 virtual IP address of the gateway, which was 10.10.0.3. Notice that the 
 source Ethernet address and the Sender's Hardware address in the ARP data 
 don't match? Cool, eh?
 

Very cool :)

 This will be one for a lab experiment on my part.  Until I see it the
result
 with my own eyes it will be a question.
 
 Why is it a question? I did a bunch of research for you. Why don't you
read
 what I have written and what others wrote? (Although doing your own 
 research is a good idea too.)

I am not dismissing anyone's research or explainations, I am thankful there
are others out there willing to share thoughts, research and ideas. But as
you say doing your own research is a good idea.  I learn a lot by reading,
as well as a lot from doing.  It is a kin to if you push the wagon down the
hill full it goes faster than if it was empty.  We all know that fact, but
the ride down the hill in a speeding red, wood panelled wagon is much more

Tim,

If you have not hard configured the MAC address then it will be the MAC of
the virtual router. This MAC address is a combination of 3 things; vendor
code, well known HSRP virtual MAC address, and the group number of the
active router.

Below are listed some sources of information.

HSRP Standby IP Address Communication (All Media Except Token Ring)
Since host workstations are configured with their default gateway as the
HSRP standby IP address, hosts must communicate with the MAC address
associated with the HSRP standby IP address. This MAC address will be a
virtual MAC address composed of .0c07.ac**, where ** is the HSRP group
number in hexadecimal based on the respective interface. For example, HSRP
group one will use the HSRP virtual MAC address of .0c07.ac01. Hosts on
the adjoining LAN segment use the normal ARP process to resolve the
associated MAC addresses.

It is configurable if you need to do so with the following command.
standby [group-number] mac-address mac-address

or

standby use-bia

 Lets say I have HSRP configured on a series of routers... I know clients
are
 sending packets to the MAC/IP of the well known virtual MAC with Cisco
 equipment.  Assume the receiving station recieves the packet directly from
 the router participating in HSRP with the highest priority... what is the
 source MAC the receiving station sees?
