Lab Simulation 2 Guidelines This is a lab item in which tasks will be performed on virtual devices. - Refer to the Tasks tab to view the tasks for this lab item. - Refer to the Topology tab to access the device console(s) and perform the tasks. - Console access is available for all required devices by clicking the device icon or using the tab(s) above the console window. - All necessary preconfigurations have been applied. - Do not change the enable password or hostname for any device. - Save your configurations to NVRAM before moving to the next item. - Click Next at the bottom of the screen to submit this lab and move to the next question. - When Next is clicked, the lab closes and cannot be reopened. Topology Tasks Configure HSRP between DISTRO-SW1 and DISTRO-SW2 on VLAN 100 for hosts connected to ACCESS-SW1 to achieve these goals: 1. Configure group number 1 using the virtual IP address of 192.168.1.1/24. 2. Configure DlSTRO-SW1 as the active router using a priority value of 110 and DISTRO-SW2 as the standby router. 3. Ensure that DISTRO-SW2 will take over the active role when DISTRO-SW1 goes down, and when DISTRO-SW1 recovers, it automatically resumes the active role. Initial Configurations Answer: Note: The HSRP group number, priority value... may be different in the exam so be careful! DISTRO-SW1: DISTRO-SW1(config)#interface Vlan 100 DISTRO-SW1(config-if)# standby 1 ip 192.168.1.1 DISTRO-SW1(config-if)# standby 1 priority 110 DISTRO-SW1(config-if)# standby 1 preempt DISTRO-SW2: DISTRO-SW2(config)#interface Vlan 100 DISTRO-SW2(config-if)# standby 1 ip 192.168.1.1 DISTRO-SW2(config-if)# standby 1 preempt Don't forget to save the configs DISTRO-SW1#, DISTRO-SW2#copy running-config startup-config Note: + The default HSRP priority is 100 so we don't need to configure it on DISTRO-SW2

Explanation

This HSRP lab requires configuring a fault-tolerant default gateway using Hot Standby Router Protocol on VLAN 100. DISTRO-SW1 is made active by assigning it a higher priority (110) than the default (100), and the 'preempt' command must be configured on DISTRO-SW1 so it automatically reclaims the active role after recovering from a failure. The virtual IP 192.168.1.1 serves as the shared gateway address that hosts on ACCESS-SW1 use, with DISTRO-SW2 automatically becoming the standby router and taking over if DISTRO-SW1 goes down. The key commands on DISTRO-SW1 are: 'interface Vlan100', 'standby 1 ip 192.168.1.1', 'standby 1 priority 110', and 'standby 1 preempt'; on DISTRO-SW2, only 'standby 1 ip 192.168.1.1' is needed since its priority defaults to 100.
