max routers in a hsrp group [7:46584]
Hi all. Does anyone know the maximum # of routers allowed in a HSRP group? I've read through the RFC and don't see this limit mentioned but a coworker says it's 4.

I know I've done four at one time (long story) without incident; I generally don't like to have more than two...how many are you trying to configure?

I know you can do 4 as I have a few times. I don't know the max but I can't think of any reason to have more than 4 routers in an HSRP group. In fact I don't even like doing 4 and the only reason I have ever configured 4 was dual 6509's with dual sups and MSFC's in the days before SRM was available. Dave Phil Wallisch wrote: Hi all.

Re: max routers in a hsrp group [7:46584]
Yeah you guys are right about no reason for more than 4. I was just curious. It came up b/c I've got 2 WAN routers attached to 2 6509s with dual MSFC's as well. Just in theory I was thinking about what if all 6 were involved in a group. Once again what's the point? Am I going to have 6 so just in case the first 5 fail I can still get out? Not too likely.

Re: max routers in a hsrp group [7:46584]
I don't think it matters how many are in a group. If they're not servicing the same virtual IP, does it really matter what group they're in? Just thinking out loud Here's a good answer for ya =) Convert the 6509s to Native IOS, then just run HSRP between the two active MSFCs done! Mike W.

I'm doing that right now between to 6509s with two Sups and two MSFC2s per box. With this each VLAN has four router interfaces that it can use if needed. I round robin the HSRP so the load is somewhat distributed between the four of them. It's redundant as hell, and in the few cases where there has been a failure of one of the MSFCs or a Supervisor (a bug in both cases) no-one was even aware that anything had happened since everything kept chugging merrily along with the HSRP and High-Availability on the Sups. Of course our monitoring group was caught with thier pants down as they didn't detect the reloads that happened when they should have!
