Configure the IP addresses on both routers. Go to Router1 and click on the "Config" tab. Enter the following commands:
HSRP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that provides a way to configure a group of routers to act as a single virtual router. The virtual router has a unique IP address and MAC address, which is shared among all routers in the group. One router is elected as the active router, and it handles all network traffic. The other routers in the group act as standby routers, ready to take over if the active router fails.
Add two routers (Router1 and Router2) and a switch to your network. You can do this by dragging and dropping the devices from the device palette. packet tracer 9.3.3 hsrp configuration guide
Router1>enable Router1#configure terminal Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0 Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Router1(config-if)#exit Repeat the same steps on Router2:
Router2>enable Router2#configure terminal Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0 Router2(config-if)#standby 1 ip 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 Router2(config-if)#standby 1 priority 100 Router2(config-if)#exit Configure the IP addresses on both routers
Router2#show standby You should see that Router2 is now the active router.
Verify the HSRP configuration on both routers. Use the following commands: The virtual router has a unique IP address
In this packet tracer 9.3.3 HSRP configuration guide, we have shown you how to configure HSRP on two routers using Packet Tracer 9.3.3. HSRP provides high availability and redundancy in networks, ensuring that your network remains up and running even if one of the routers fails. By following these steps, you can implement HSRP in your own network and enjoy the benefits of a highly available and redundant network.
