Cisco HSRP Group Table View
Access: From the Icon Subviews menu for the
CiscoHSRPApp Application icon, select HSRP Group Table.
This view provides the HSRP Group Table
(Page 150) and a Config Timeout field, described
below.
Config Timeout
The amount of time in minutes a row in the HSRP
Group Table can remain in a state other than
active before being timed out.
HSRP Group Table
This table contains the following information on
each HSRP group for each interface. Double-
clicking an entry in this table opens a Cisco HSRP
Group View which contains the same information
for and lets you configure that entry.
IF Index
The interface index value.
HSRP Group
This field along with the ifIndex of a particular
interface uniquely identifies an HSRP group.
Group numbers 0, 1, and 2 are the only valid
group numbers for Token Ring interfaces. For
other media types, numbers range from 0 to 255.
Each interface has its own set of group numbers.
There is no relationship between the groups
configured on different interfaces. Using a group
number on one interface does not preclude using
the same group number on a different interface.
For example, there can be a group 1 on an
Ethernet and a group 1 on Token Ring.
Authentication
An unencrypted authentication string which is
carried in all HSRP messages. An authentication
string mismatch prevents a router interface from
learning the designated IP address or HSRP timer
values from other HSRP-enabled routers with the
same group number. The function of this field is
not to supply any sort of security-like
authentication but rather to confirm that what's
happening is what's intended.
Priority
Helps to select the active and the standby routers.
The router with the highest priority is selected as
Note:
Note:
The Cisco Router device model
provides a means of representing an
HSRP group in SPECTRUM by
suppressing duplicate MAC address
alarms when an HSRP virtual IP is
modeled. This avoids any confusion
and the inconvenience of an alarm
when modeling routers that are part
of an HSRP group.
