CCNA Recap: Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP)






https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/unicast/configuration/guide/l3_cli_nxos/l3_hsrp.html

Redundance | Load Balancing 
for ipv4
hosts

default priority for standby routers are 100

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol is the non cisco proprietary version of HSRP
—————  HSRP ——————


Cisco proprietary
Group # 0 - 255, int. signif only.
  • v. 2 expands to 4095 groups
  • v . 2 uses 224.0.0.102 multicast ipv4
    • ipv6 multicast is FF02::66

224.0.0.2 is multicast address for v. 1

standby preempt to force a new election


last eight bits of the Virtual Mac = standby group
priority range 0 - 255, default 100
hello timer def. 3 sec, holddown, 10 sec.
preempt is not enabled by default
‘cisco’ for default auth
u can use MD5 ( - v.2)
active router election; Highest priority wins, highest IP if a tie
  • v.2 mac range 0000.0C9F.F000 to 0000.0C9F.FFFF (Ipv4)
  • v2. mac range 0005.73A0. 0000 -  0005.73A0.0FFF for ipv6 
Fasted router to boot becomes the active one, irregardless of config. priority, if there is no preempt configured
——— hot standby ————————

Virtual Router: “I’m not in active or standby, I’m just listening and knowing infnormation.” 

In standby, you’re a candidate to be the active router


  • Spanning tree priority = lower = better
  • HSRP priority = higher = better

Consider legacy routing protocols

————— Configuration ————
First Router 
int ____
ip add [add][mask]
standby version 2 

standby [group #] ip [default gateway / virtual router IP]
must match on each router involved.

standby [group #] priority [up to 250 I believe? Higher = better]
standby [group #] preempt forcing election 
no shut

Second Router 

int ____
ip add [add][mask]
standby version 2 

standby [group #] ip [default gateway / virtual router IP] 
must match on each router involved.

no shut


EMPLOYERS: This shows that I review material I have tested and passed to refresh myself.

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

Log Sorting with AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights

 The cool thing is, I was contracted to make these videos in collaboration with CloudAvail Technology Consulting to help people decide which service they wanted to use for their logging - AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Insights, DataDog, or New Relic. I'm searching through nginx logs. I have accompanying videos of each service that you can find on the CloudAvail Youtube page; See these links to go to the DataDog and NewRelic posts.   The idea was to be subjective in the videos, but I can be objective on my personal blog.     CloudWatch     The syntax is odd, but easy to grasp. Sort log data by IP addresses, message codes, and status codes. The simplest query system, but not quite robust.   Insights       The syntax has changed - Vastly. I see major SQL influences. You can see that in how the parse function works - in this case, it's often taken pieces of a pre-existing standard - in this case, message - and breaking them into their own c...

Infracost, The Cloud Cost Manager

I nfracost integrates with Infrastructure as Code technologies to check the costs of the infrastructure you're creating or changing, in multiple currencies, multiple cloud platforms, and can integrate with multiple repos and pull requests.  Hooray!   The single-sentence description is 'Shift FinOps Left". Not sure what that means, but let's look at the software itself. The tag policies feature seems similar to the regulations one can set up in Trivy, like I've done over here , to make Terraform code adhere to certain rules. I installed it via chocolatey on Windows 11, using it to check my Azure resources. Don't forget to get the API key as well, it is a lot easier to set up than you think, and used the CLI in the program; here's that documentation (Option 1) . It does not check the free tiers of Azure and uses On-Demand prices by default. This is the output for infracost breakdown ;  You'll notice that it does round down; My cost is 15.41$, and the t...
