HSRP and EIGRP

I have two 3560 switches that are doing layer 3 routing for a specific VLAN. These two switches are also configured for HSRP. Switch 1 = 172.31.100.2 and Switch 2 = 172.31.100.3 . The standby address they are configured for is 172.31.100.1 .

My question is, using eigrp, how do I get the switches to advertise 172.31.100.1 as correct destination in route tables, rather than the individual ip's of the switches (ie 172.31.100.2 and 172.31.100.3)? In other switches/routers that participate in the same eigrp autonomous system, the individual switch ip shows up rather than the hsrp address.

Any help is appreciated!
 
I think you have sort of missed the point here.....

HSRP is used to provide default gateway redundancy for hosts (your PC's, Servers etc). EIGRP is a routing protocol used by routers to learn a networks topology and build a routing table so it can route traffic around best-cost paths. They are completely different mechanisms.

Yes, as long as you have the correct subnet in your EIGRP statement, you don't have to worry about anything. HSRP is a seperate protocol that ensures that one switch will take up the slack of a failed parellel switch.
