Networking with Cisco

These simple steps will establish HSRP on cisco:

router1(config)# interface gig 2/1
router1(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
router1(config-if)# standby 1 ip 10.0.0.1

router2(config)# interface gig 2/1
router2(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0
router2(config-if)# standby 1 ip 10.0.0.1

When these ports are connected to a switch, the routers will decide for an active router for 10.0.0.1, and the other router will go into standby.  You can adjust election by issuing the ‘standby 1 priority‘ command on the interface.
