Here's a scenario I've been faced with recently and have a solution, but wanted to get any other ideas somebody might have. The question calls for this:
- Configure cat1 and cat2 for layer 3 redundancy with HSRP for Vlan 5 - Configure HSRP such that when both cat switches are available, traffic is load balanced across both cat switches and when one is unavailable, the other cat should take over all traffic from Vlan 5. Here's my configuration idea: Cat1: Interface Vlan 5 ip address 150.50.5.5 255.255.255.0 standby 1 ip 150.50.5.100 standby 1 priority 150 preempt standby 2 ip 150.50.5.200 standby 2 priority 155 preempt Cat2: Interface Vlan 5 ip addres 150.50.5.10 255.255.255.0 standby 1 ip 150.50.5.100 standby 1 priority 155 preempt standby 2 ip 150.50.5.200 standby 2 priority 150 preempt Cat1 will assume the role of the virtual IP 150.50.5.100 and Cat2 will assume the role of virtual IP 150.50.5.200. One would then configure the default gateways on the hosts. Half the hosts have 150.50.5.100 listed first as the D.G. and the other half would have 150.50.5.200 listed first as the D.G. Is there another way to do this?
