Hi guys,
Customer has a 7204VXR (15.1(4)M5, Advanced Enterprise K9) running eBGP to two upstream providers on the WAN side, and to about 10 customers on the LAN side. The (2) WAN ports and the (1) LAN port are all GigE. They have a redundant 7204VXR they can manually fail over to when the primary router fails. They want to automate the failover. My first thought is to put a switch in front of and behind the two 7204VXR's and run HSRP, on both the LAN and WAN interfaces of the routers. Questions: - Will I run into any gotchas with this approach; and - Is there a better way? Convergence is a big issue. It needs to be as fast as possible. I assume BGP peering will pass to the backup router as fast as HSRP does, since all the BGP peers care about is the IP address they are peering with, and the virtual IP will not change during failover. But maybe there is a better / faster way. Thanks for any input / advice.
