CCNA Recap: Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP)







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...

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

 If you're seeing this post, I'm helping you, and you probably have LI presence: React and share this post to help me in return.   In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an...
