Is it highest or lowest IP address? The reason I ask is because my core 2 (192.168.1.2) is currently the active and my core1 (192.168.1.3) is the standby. Thanks<br />
<br />
PS. I forgot to mention but preempt is enabled on both core switches

Highest.<br />
But since the &quot;Preemption&quot; is off by default - the reelection won't happened unless you turn it on the the interface with the highest ip address.<br />
<br />
like:<br />
Router1(conf-inter)#interf<wbr />ace fa0/1<br />
Router1(conf-inter)#standb<wbr />y 1 preempt
</div>


Highest.
But since the "Preemption" is off by default - the reelection won't happened unless you turn it on the the interface with the highest ip address.

like:
Router1(conf-inter)#interface fa0/1
Router1(conf-inter)#standby 1 preempt

<div>
&quot;the first router that boot up will become active router&quot;. I think this is what is happening with my situation, I think I understand now. Thank you

"the first router that boot up will become active router". I think this is what is happening with my situation, I think I understand now. Thank you

I am using hsrp at my core switches. I accidentally configured priority 150 for both core switches. I thought that it would load balance. But I still see one is active and the other one is standby. Can the experts explain the hsrp process in selecting the active and standby with the same priority? Thanks

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
