Hi,

It looks like a problem with the dissector code. If
you disable SNMP as a protocol then Ethereal decodes
it as HSRP just fine. This is probably because the
SNMP dissector runs before HSRP dissector.

Now, looking at the source code both the packet-snmp
and packet-hsrp check udp.port which covers both
source/dest I believe. I think these should be changed
to udp.dstport to be more accurate if thats the
filters used in the source (probably other dissectors
have same problem). I'm not familar with the source
really but that looks to be a problem to me.

HTH, Erick
