Tech Tip: Using Hot Standby Routing Protocol

If you are using the HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) capability and the STANDBY TRACK feature to monitor another interface on the router (typically the interface to the "outside world"), you should use the STANDBY PREEMPT command on both interfaces. This will allow the routers to efficiently switch the leader role when the priority is lowered, as a result of the second interface going down.
