That's the config I use as well. However, (and I'm not flaming you) that is
not what I was speaking of, nor what what I believe this gentleperson was
asking about. The original poster said "I want to have a second switch with
a copy of the primary's configuration and take over automatically once the
primary fails". I was speculating on a way to have two completely separate
chassis (switches/MSFCs) create a "mirror" and have one that sits in standby
while the other is active. What you have there is 2 MSFCs using HSRP with
VLANs load balanced across them. As I said in my eariler post, "Unless you
have the end devices connected to both switches, you're screwed". You have
end devices (your servers) connected to both switches, which is the *only*
way this HSRP setup will provide complete redundancy (actually, it's not the
HSRP that provides it, but the fact that your end devices are connected to
both switches that provides that real redundancy).
