Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

This document describes how to configure a standby Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) for IPv6 (HSRPv2) group to track an object and change the HSRP priority on the basis of the object state.

Each tracked object has a unique number that is specified on the tracking command-line interface (CLI). HSRPv2 uses this number to track a specific object. The tracking process periodically polls the tracked object for value changes and sends any changes (as up or down values) to HSRPv2, either immediately or after a specified delay. This document uses the track interface command in order to configure an interface to be tracked.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this configuration:

Knowledge of configuring HSRP; refer to Configuring HSRP for more information.
Basic knowledge of implementing IPv6 addressing and basic connectivity; refer to Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for more information.
Basic knowledge of Enhanced Object Tracking
HSRPv2 must be enabled on an interface before HSRP IPv6 can be configured.
IPv6 unicast routing must be enabled on the device for HSRP IPv6 to be configured.

Components Used

The configurations in this document are based on the Cisco7200 series router that runs Cisco IOS® Software Release 15.0(1).

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for information on document conventions.

Configure

The R2 and R3 routers are connected to R1 via a serial interface. The Fast Ethernet interfaces of R2 and R3 are configured with HSRP IPv6 in such a way that R2 acts as the active router and R3 acts as the standby router. In router R2, the tracking process is configured to track the state of the interface line protocol of serial interface 1/0: In case the serial interface S1/0 of R2 goes down, the R3 router changes its state from Standby to Active.

Note: Use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) to find more information on the commands used in this document.
