FHRP—SSO Aware HSRP
The FHRP—SSO Aware HSRP feature alters the behavior of Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) when a router with redundant Route Processors (RPs) is configured for Stateful Switchover (SSO) redundancy mode. One RP is active, and the other RP is standby. SSO enables the standby RP to take over if the active RP fails.
With this feature, HSRP SSO information is synchronized to the standby RP, allowing traffic that is sent using the HSRP virtual IP address to be continuously forwarded during a switchover without a loss of data or a path change. Additionally, if both RPs fail on the active HSRP router, then the standby HSRP router takes over as the active HSRP router.
The feature is enabled by default when the redundancy mode is SSO.

Information About FHRP—SSO Aware HSRP
You should understand the following concepts that relate to the FHRP—SSO Aware HSRP feature:
•
•
HSRP Standby Groups
HSRP is typically used for end-hosts that are directly connected to HSRP routers and provides failover services. A group of routers configured with HSRP is commonly called an HSRP standby group as shown in Figure 1 (inside the dotted area), and the group works together to present a single virtual router.
Figure 1 Typical HSRP Configuration
The group elects one router to function as an active router that handles traffic sent to the virtual router, and one router to function as a standby router that takes over forwarding packets on behalf of the virtual router if the active router fails. The hosts forward packets to the virtual router IP/MAC address, and the active router processes the packets.
If the standby router fails and there is another router in the standby group that is not the current active router, then that router becomes the standby router.
Within the HSRP group, the routers periodically advertise state information using messages.
SSO Dual-Route Processors and Cisco Nonstop Forwarding
SSO functions in networking devices (usually edge devices) that support dual RPs. SSO provides RP redundancy by establishing one of the RPs as the active processor and the other RP as the standby processor. SSO also synchronizes critical state information between the RPs so that network state information is dynamically maintained between RPs.
SSO is generally used with Cisco Nonstop Forwarding (NSF). Cisco NSF enables forwarding of data packets to continue along known routes while the routing protocol information is being restored following a switchover. With NSF, users are less likely to experience service outages.
HSRP and SSO Working Together
The FHRP—SSO Aware HSRP feature enables the Cisco IOS HSRP subsystem software to detect that a standby RP is installed and the system is configured in SSO redundancy mode. Further, if the active RP fails, no change occurs to the HSRP group itself and traffic continues to be forwarded through the current active gateway router.
Prior to this feature, when the active HSRP router primary RP failed, it would stop participating in the HSRP group and trigger another router in the group to take over as the active HSRP router.
The SSO-Aware HSRP feature is required to preserve the forwarding path for traffic destined to the HSRP virtual IP through a RP switchover.
Configuring SSO on the edge router enables the traffic on the Ethernet links to continue during an RP failover without the Ethernet traffic switching over to an HSRP standby router (and then back, if preemption is enabled).

DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Use the show standby command to display the state of the standby RP, for example:
Router# show standbyEthernet0/0/1 - Group 1State is Init (standby RP, peer state is Active)Virtual IP address is 10.1.0.7Active virtual MAC address is unknownLocal virtual MAC address is 000a.f3fd.5001 (bia)Hello time 1 sec, hold time 3 secAuthentication text "authword"Preemption enabledActive router is unknownStandby router is unknownPriority 110 (configured 120)Track object 1 state Down decrement 10IP redundancy name is "name1" (cfgd)Step 2
Use the debug standby events ha command to display the active and standby RPs, for example:

12.2(27)SBC

Usage Guidelines
Use the standby sso command to enable HSRP SSO. This is the default when redundancy mode SSO is configured. When standby SSO is enabled, traffic sent using an HSRP virtual IP address continues through the HSRP group member using the current path while a Route Processor (RP) switchover occurs. The HSRP state is maintained and kept synchronized across the redundant RPs within the chassis.
If you want the traffic to switch to a redundant device (another chassis) even though the redundant RP is capable of taking over, then the feature can be disabled by using the no form of the command. If the command is disabled and if the primary HSRP router fails, the HSRP state is not maintained across RP switchover and traffic targeted to the HSRP virtual IP address is handled by the standby HSRP router.

The following example shows how to reenable standby SSO for HSRP if it has been disabled:

Glossary
active HSRP router—The primary router in an HSRP group.
active RP—The RP that controls the system, provides network services, runs the routing protocols, and presents the system management interface.
HSRP—Hot Standby Router Protocol. Protocol that provides high network availability and transparent network-topology changes. HSRP creates a router group with a lead router that services all packets sent to the HSRP address. The lead router is monitored by other routers in the group, and if it fails, one of these standby HSRP routers inherits the lead position and the HSRP group address.
NSF—Nonstop Forwarding. The ability of a router to continue to forward traffic to a router that may be recovering from a failure. Also, the ability of a router recovering from a failure to continue to correctly forward traffic sent to it by a peer.
RF—Redundancy Facility. A structured, functional interface used to notify its clients of active and standby state progressions and events.
RP—Route Processor. A generic term for the centralized control unit in a chassis. Platforms usually use a platform-specific term, such as RSP on the Cisco 7500, the PRE on the Cisco 10000, or the SUP+MSFC on the Cisco 7600.
RPR+—An enhanced Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) in which the standby RP is fully initialized.
SSO—Stateful Switchover. SSO refers to the implementation of Cisco IOS software that allows applications and features to maintain a defined state between an active and standby RP. When a switchover occurs, forwarding and sessions are maintained. Along with NSF, SSO makes an RP failure undetectable to the network.
standby HSRP router—The backup router in an HSRP group.
standby RP—The backup RP.
switchover—An event in which system control and routing protocol execution are transferred from the active RP to the standby RP. Switchover may be a manual operation or may be induced by a hardware or software fault. Switchover may include transfer of the packet forwarding function in systems that combine system control and packet forwarding in an indivisible unit.
