My colocation provider has setup HSRP for us and has provided us 2 drops (plugged into 1/1/1 and 1/1/2) from their routers as well as a /29 with 2 HSRP IP's and the rest of the /29 usable for the switch.

I know that HSRP should be pretty much plug and play as long as the ports are in the same VLAN.

However I'm confused as to how to the IP setup should work.

Currently I've assigned port 1/1/1 the full /29 however I think this is incorrect because if I were to unplug it port 1/1/2 wouldn't work as it has no IP assignment.

What's the proper way to do this?
