HSRP (Hot Standby Routing Protocol)

hi Rene
at the beginning of the lab, i wasn’t able to issue the following commands

SwitchA(config)#interface fa0/17
SwitchA(config-if)#standby 1 ip 192.168.1.3

the thing is SwitchA does not have the option standby under interface, not unless i convert this interface as a layer 3 int with command “no switchport”, then it has the option, but when i try to type the following command

standby 1 ip 192.168.1.3

then it give me the error that overlaps with vlan 1, and this is because the layer 3 interface does not belong to any vlan, can you please advice.

or should i instead issue the standby under vlan 1 and then create a layer 3 interface for port f0/19 who is connected to the Router and need a layer 3 interface?

thank you
Ramon
