HSRP link failure
If two switches are setup in an HSRP setup, I realize that the standby switch will become active if the active switch goes down.
What would happen if the switchport died on access-sw-3 in the following picture? The standby switch isn't forwarding traffic, so how would hosts connected to SW3 get to the core?

If the HSRP hellos are not heard on the other end it will become the active router.
The diagram all depends on how spanning-tree is set up.
