Hello,
I need some hint
I have 2 C26xx running IOS 12.1 with several interfaces which I want to
setup in a failover configuration with HSRP

The idea is to switch to the backup router if any of the interfaces goes
down

On main router :

interface f0/0
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
standby 1 ip 10.0.0.1
standby 1 preempt
standby track f0/1

interface f0/1
ip address 172.16.0.2 255.255.255.0
standby 2 ip 172.16.0.1
standby 2 preempt
standby track f0/0

I need some hints because I can't model the configurations
Thanks in advance

I would also recommend setting a priority on both sides, either to
ensure your traffic is being equally shared between core routers, or B
because you want one link preferred downstream (presuming all paths
are equal). Higher priority wins in this case, opposite of say
spantree priorities on vlans.

and do you want to stay on the backup router and move back
manually ???

ponder what happens for example if you have a flapping Fast Ethernet
interface on the main router

Actually that's an excellent hint. I didn't think of it.
I have no idea on how to make it.
Maybe removing the preempt command on the emain router would be enough
but, then I have to be careful when starting the routers.
Or maybe I can set the preempt command, just when I want to revert back
to the main router.

Usually the HSRP tracking feature is used to track the state of WAN
interfaces.

Is this how you were intending to use it or are you trying to track
LAN interfaces.
If the later I would discourage you from doing so as you will
unnecessarily complicate your
operating environment.

Perhaps you can share a little more info about both router , i.e the
WAN side of things
to assist folks in responding to your query.
