I asked this question last year at some point.... I was told by many that
it's a bad idea, but I did have a few people chime in to say they had done
it with great success...

This doesn't answer your question but if you have a chance give it a try is
what I'd say.  We thought in our HSRP setup we would have to have the IP's
in different subnets but ended up working just fine in an existing subnet so
never actually had a chance to try it the other way..

Subject: [c-nsp] HSRP w/ int and standby addr in different subnets

Hello,

I was wondering: I can configure this:

interface Vlan2
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
 standby 1 ip 192.168.0.1
 stadnby 1 preempt
 ! bla bla bla
!

But is it a good idea? Is there any special reason to always choose a
standby IP-address from the same subnet as the interface address? I
guess there would be some issues about ICMP redirects and unreachables,
but that's not a big concern.

I've been searching cisco.com, and all examples always use the same
subnet, but I can't find anything saying it's a bad idea to use
different subnets.

Thank you,
Peter Rathlev
