“ip helper-address redundancy” command
Hi Group,
I encountered the following HSRP and “ip helper-address” configs:
R3: ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 139.1.0.3 255.255.255.0 ip helper-address 139.1.13.1 redundancy HSRP standby 1 ip 139.1.0.1 standby 1 preempt standby 1 name HSRP !
R6: ! interface FastEthernet0/1 ip address 139.1.0.6 255.255.255.0 ip helper-address 139.1.13.1 redundancy HSRP standby 1 ip 139.1.0.1 standby 1 priority 110 standby 1 preempt standby 1 name HSRP !
The task are worded as follows:
- R1 should supply hosts in VLAN 367 (R3-R6 LAN segment) with IP addresses in the range of … - The default gateway for these hosts should be R6. - If R6 is down, R3 should be the default gateway.
What’s the difference between having and without the “redundancy” option in the “ip helper-address” command, in this case? Does the task call for it? I usually do not include it. Will my solution be graded wrong?
Please advise.
Thank you. BR, Emil
