HSRP failover walkthrough

R1 and R2 share virtual IP 10.0.10.254. Kill the active router or its uplink — watch the standby preempt with the virtual MAC and keep the LAN\'s default gateway alive. Priority, tracking, and hold timers all real.

Group 1 · vIP 10.0.10.254 · vMAC 0000.0c07.ac01
WAN / Internet R1 .1 vMAC ac01 ACTIVE pri 110 R2 .2 vMAC ac01 STANDBY pri 100 L2 SWITCH PC-A PC-B vIP 10.0.10.254
Client ARP behavior
PCs ARP for 10.0.10.254 → get virtual MAC 0000.0c07.ac01. Frames land on R1 — the active router.
