2/13/24, 9:22 PM 9.3.3 Packet Tracer – HSRP Configuration Guide – Instructions Answer
Objectives
In this Packet Tracer activity, you will learn how to configure Hot Standby Router
Protocol (HSRP) to provide redundant default gateway devices to hosts on LANs. After
configuring HSRP, you will test the configuration to verify that hosts are able to use the
redundant default gateway if the current gateway device becomes unavailable.
Configure an HSRP active router.
Configure an HSRP standby router.
Verify HSRP operation.
Background / Scenario
Spanning Tree Protocol provides loop-free redundancy between switches within a LAN.
However, it does not provide redundant default gateways for end-user devices within
the network if a gateway router fails. First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) provide
redundant default gateways for end devices with no additional end-user configuration
necessary. By using a FHRP, two or more routers can share the same virtual IP address
and MAC address and can act as a single virtual router. Hosts on the network are
configured with a shared IP address as their default gateway. In this Packet Tracer
activity, you will configure Cisco’s Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), which is an
FHRP.
You will configure HSRP on routers R1 and R3, which serve as the default gateways for
the hosts on LAN 1 and LAN 2. When you configure HSRP, you will create a virtual
gateway that uses the same default gateway address for hosts in both LANs. If one
gateway router becomes unavailable, the second router will take over using the same
default gateway address that was used by the first router. Because the hosts on the
LANs are configured with the IP address of the virtual gateway as the default gateway,
the hosts will regain connectivity to remote networks after HSRP activates the
remaining router.
Instructions
Part 1: Verify Connectivity
Step 1: Trace the path to the Web Server from PC-A.
a. Go to the desktop of PC-A and open a command prompt.
b. Trace the path from PC-A to the webserver by executing the tracert 209.165.200.226
command.
Which devices are on the path from PC-A to the Web Server? Use the addressing table
to determine the device names.
R1, R2 and I-Net
Step 2: Trace the path to the Web Server from PC-B.
Repeat the process in Step 1 from PC-B.
Which devices are on the path from PC-B to the Web Server?
R3, R2 and I-Net
5
Step 3: Observe the network behavior when R3 becomes unavailable.
a. Select the delete tool from the Packet Tracer tool bar and delete the link between R3
and S3.
b. Open a command prompt on PC-B. Execute the tracert command with the Web
Server as the destination.

2/13/24, 9:22 PM 9.3.3 Packet Tracer – HSRP Configuration Guide – Instructions Answer
c. Compare the current output with the output of the command from Step 2.
What are the results?
The tracert command cannot determine the path to the Web Server because the
path has been broken.
d. Click the Connections icon in the lower left corner of the PT window. Locate and
select the Copper Straight-Through icon in the pallet of connection types.
e. Click on S3 and select port GigbitEthernet0/2. Click R3 and select port
GigabitEthernet0/0.
f. After the link lights on the connection are both green, test the connection by pinging
the Web Server. The ping should be successful.
Part 2: Configure HSRP Active and Standby Routers
Step 1: Configure HSRP on R1.
a. Configure HSRP on the G0/1 LAN interface of R1.
R1(config)# interface g0/1
b. Specify the HSRP protocol version number. The most recent version is version 2.
Note: Standby version 1 only supports IPv4 addressing.
R1(config-if)# standby version 2
c. Configure the IP address of the virtual default gateway. This address must be
configured on any hosts that require the services of the default gateway. It replaces the
physical interface address of the router that has been previously configured on the
hosts.
Multiple instances of HSRP can be configured on a router. You must specify the HSRP
group number to identify the virtual interface between routers in a HSRP group. This
number must be consistent between the routers in the group. The group number for this
configuration is 1.
R1(config-if)# standby 1 ip 192.168.1.254
d. Designate the active router for the HSRP group. It is the router that will be used as
the gateway device unless it fails or the path to it becomes inactive or unusable. Specify
the priority for the router interface.
The default value is 100. A higher value will determine which router is the active router.
If the priorities of the routers in the HSRP group are the same, then the router with the
highest configured IP address will become the active router.
R1(config-if)# standby 1 priority 150
R1 will operate as the active router and traffic from the two LANs will use it as the
default gateway.
5
e. If it is desirable that the active router resume that role when it becomes available
again, configure it to preempt the service of the standby router. The active router will
take over the gateway role when it becomes operable again.
R1(config-if)# standby 1 preempt
What will the HSRP priority of R3 be when it is added to HSRP group 1?

2/13/24, 9:22 PM 9.3.3 Packet Tracer – HSRP Configuration Guide – Instructions Answer
100, which is the default value.
Step 2: Configure HSRP on R3.
Configure R3 as the standby router.
a. Configure the R3 interface that is connected to LAN 2.
b. Repeat only steps 1b and 1c above.
R3(config)#int g0/0
R3(config-if)#sta
R3(config-if)#standby ver 2
R3(config-if)#standby 1 ip 192.168.1.254
Step 3: Verify HSRP Configuration
a. Verify HSRP by issuing the show standby command on R1 and R3. Verify the
values for HSRP role, group, virtual IP address of the gateway, preemption, and priority.
Note that HSRP also identifies the active and standby router IP addresses for the
group.
R1# show standby
GigabitEthernet0/1 - Group 1 (version 2)
State is Active
4 state changes, last state change 00:00:30
Virtual IP address is 192.168.1.254
Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001
Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001 (v2 default)
Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec
Next hello sent in 1.696 secs
Preemption enabled
Active router is local
Standby router is 192.168.1.3
Priority 150 (configured 150)
Group name is "hsrp-Gi0/1-1" (default)
R3# show standby
GigabitEthernet0/0 - Group 1 (version 2)
State is Standby
4 state changes, last state change 00:02:29
Virtual IP address is 192.168.1.254
Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001
Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001 (v2 default)
Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec
Next hello sent in 0.720 secs
Preemption disabled
Active router is 192.168.1.1
MAC address is d48c.b5ce.a0c1
Standby router is local
Priority 100 (default 100)
Group name is "hsrp-Gi0/0-1" (default)
Using the output shown above, answer the following questions:
Which router is the active router?
5
R1
What is the MAC address for the virtual IP address?
0000.0C9F.F001

2/13/24, 9:22 PM 9.3.3 Packet Tracer – HSRP Configuration Guide – Instructions Answer
What is the IP address and priority of the standby router?
The IP address is 192.168.1.3 and the priority is 100.
b. Use the show standby brief command on R1 and R3 to view an HSRP status
summary. Sample output is shown below.
R1# show standby brief
P indicates configured to preempt.
|
Interface Grp Pri P State Active Standby Virtual IP
Gi0/1 1 150 P Active local 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.254

Gi0/0 1 100 Standby 192.168.1.1 local 192.168.1.254
c. Change the default gateway address for PC-A, PC-B, S1, and S3.
Which address should you use?
192.168.1.254
S1(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
S3(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254

2/13/24, 9:22 PM 9.3.3 Packet Tracer – HSRP Configuration Guide – Instructions Answer
Verify the new settings. Issue a ping from both PC-A and PC-B to the Web Server. Are
the pings successful?
Yes
Part 3: Observe HSRP Operation
Step 1: Make the active router become unavailable.
Open a command prompt on PC-B and enter the command tracert 209.165.200.226.
Does the path differ from the path used before HSRP was configured?
Yes. The path now passes through R1 instead of R3.
Step 2: Break the link to R1.
a. Select the delete tool from the Packet Tracer toolbar and delete the cable that
connects R1 to S1.
b. Immediately return to PC-B and execute the tracert 209.165.200.226 command
again. Observe the output of the command until the command completes execution.
You may need to repeat the trace to see the full path.
How was this trace different from the previous trace?
At first, the trace timed out. Eventually, the trace went through R3, R2, and I-Net.
R3 was used as the first hop gateway in this trace instead of R1.
HSRP undergoes a process to determine which router should take over when the active
5
router becomes unavailable. This process takes time. Once the process is complete,
the R3 standby router becomes active and is used as the default gateway for hosts on
LAN 1 and LAN 2.
Step 3: Restore the link to R1.
a. Re-connect R1 to S1 with a copper straight-through cable.

b. Execute a trace from PC-B to the Web Server. You may need to repeat the trace to
see the full path.
What path is used to reach the Web Server?
At first the trace fails. Eventually it begins using R1 as the gateway again.
If the preempt command was not configured for the HSRP group on R1, would the
results have been the same?
No, R1 would not become the gateway again. The path through R3 would continue
to be used.
