PT Activity: Configuraing basic HSRP

Introduction
In this activity, you will perform basic STP and OSPF configuration before activating HSRP on the Branch routers. ISP, BR_R1, BR_R2 have already been preconfigured with hostnames and IP addresses. The DNS/Web server has also been preconfigured.

Task 1: Configure STP

Configure BR_SW to support Rapid-PVST+ and Port Fast. This will guarantee quicker failover of HSRP: BR_SW>enable BR_SW#config term BR_SW(config)#spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst BR_SW(config)#spanning-tree portfast default Your completion result should be 8%. If not, check for missing configuration statements.

Task 2: Configure OSPF routing

Configure OSPF on ISP, BR_R1 and BR_R2. Assign all interfaces to Area 0, except for Gi0/2 on ISP. ISP will advertise a default route to BR_R1 and BR_R2. Step 1. Enable OSPF on BR_R1 BR_R1(config)#router ospf 1 BR_R1(config-router)#network [Link] [Link] area 0 BR_R1(config-router)#network [Link] [Link] area 0 BR_R1(config-router)#end Step 2. Enable OSPF on BR_R2 BR_R2(config)#router ospf 1 BR_R2(config-router)#network [Link] [Link] area 0 BR_R2(config-router)#network [Link] [Link] area 0 BR_R2(config-router)#end Step 3. Enable OSPF on ISP ISP(config)#router ospf 1 ISP(config-router)#network [Link] [Link] area 0 ISP(config-router)#network [Link] [Link] area 0 ISP(config-router)#default-information originate ISP(config-router)#exit ISP(config)#ip route [Link] [Link] Gi0/2 Step 4. Verify routing Use the show ip route command on BR_R1 and BR_R2 to verify that OSPF is operating correctly. Both routers should be receiving a default route (type O*E2) from ISP. BR_R1#show ip route Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter

Your completion result should be 56%. If not, check for missing configuration statements.

Task 3: Configure HSRP

Configure HSRP group 1 on BR_R1 and BR_R2 using [Link] as the standby virtual IP address. By default, Packet Tracer supports HSRP version 2. BR_R1 will be configured as the Active HSRP default-gateway and BR_R2 will be configured as Standby. Preemption is configured on both routers. Step 1. Enable HSRP on BR_R1 BR_R1(config)#interface gi0/0 BR_R1(config-if)#standby 1 ip [Link] BR_R1(config-if)#standby 1 preempt Step 2. Enable HSRP on BR_R2 BR_R2(config)#interface gi0/0 BR_R2 (config-if)#standby 1 ip [Link] BR_R2 (config-if)#standby 1 priority 95 BR_R2 (config-if)#standby 1 preempt Step 3. Verify HSRP After a few moments, use the show standby and show standby brief commands on BR_R1 and BR_R2 to verify that HSRP is operating correctly. BR_R1 should be the Active router and BR_R2 should be Standby. BR_R1#show standby GigabitEthernet0/0 - Group 1 (version 2) State is Active 5 state changes, last state change [Link] Virtual IP address is [Link] Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001 Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0C9F.F001 (v2 default)

Your completion result should be 82%. If not, check for missing configuration statements.

Task 4: Configure Ethernet interface on host PC and test HSRP failover functionality
Step 1. Configure host PC Configure the NIC on BR_PC according to the information in the table. Also configure BR_PC to use [Link] as its DNS server. Step 2. Test connectivity using Ping Use a command prompt on BR_PC to Ping the server using the URL [Link] PC>ping [Link] Pinging [Link] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from [Link]: bytes=32 time=13ms TTL=126 Reply from [Link]: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=126 Reply from [Link]: bytes=32 time=0ms TTL=126 Reply from [Link]: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=126 Ping statistics for [Link]: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 13ms, Average = 3ms

Step 3. Test connectivity using Tracert Use a command prompt to trace the physical path taken from BR_PC to the Server. Confirm that the first hop is the physical address of BR_R1 Gi0/0 interface ([Link]) PC>tracert [Link] Tracing route to [Link] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 2 3 1 ms 1 ms 0 ms 0 ms 0 ms 1 ms 1 ms 0 ms 0 ms [Link] [Link] [Link]

Trace complete.

Step 4. Test HSRP failover From BR_PC, use the ping t command to start a continuous sequence of pings to the Server. PC>ping -t [Link]

On BR_R1, shutdown the Gi0/0 interface. BR_R1#config term BR_R1(config)#interface gi0/0 BR_R1(config-if)#shutdown %HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: GigabitEthernet0/0 Grp 1 state Active -> Init %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to administratively down %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to down [Link] %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr [Link] on GigabitEthernet0/0 from FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Interface down or detached

Notice that BR_R2 becomes the new Active router. BR_R2# %HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: GigabitEthernet0/0 Grp 1 state Standby -> Active

Notice what occurs on BR_PC. A change in physical gateway has occurred, but this is transparent to the host PC. It is possible for one or two pings to drop depending on how quickly BR_R2s hold time expires. The default hold time for HSRP is 10 seconds.

Task 5: Verify HSRP packet exchange

Step 1. Activate BR_R1 Gi0/0 interface to allow the router to reclaim the Active status BR_R1#config term BR_R1(config)#interface gi0/0 BR_R1(config-if)#no shutdown BR_R1(config-if)# %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up %HSRP-6-STATECHANGE: GigabitEthernet0/0 Grp 1 state Standby -> Active BR_R1(config-if)#

Step 2. Use Simulation mode to view HSRP Hello packets Enter Simulation mode. Select only HSRP in the filter window. Click Auto Capture / Play to see the multicast HSRP Hello packets being sent and received by both BR_R1 and BR_R2. Confirm the following by observing the PDU details of some of the packets: 1. Destination IP address is [Link] 2. UDP port is 1985 3. HSRP version is 0x2 4. Priority is either 100 or 95 depending on Hello viewed. 5. Group number is 1 6. Virtual IP is [Link]

Step 3. Use Simulation mode to view ICMP packet flow from BR_PC to Netacad server Create a complex PDU. Use [Link] as the source IP address. Use [Link] as the destination IP address. Use a sequence number if 1 and configure a one-shot time of 5 seconds. Use the Capture/Forward button to view the ICMP packet flow to and from the Netacad server, via the BR_R1 router. Delete the cable between BR_R1 and BR_SW. Run the simulation again and view the packets flow to and from the server via BR_R2 after it has become the new Active HSRP router.
