In this episode we are going to look at configuring HSRP Configuration Guide. Spanning Tree Protocol provides loop-free redundancy between switches within a LAN. However, it does not provide redundant default gateways for end-user devices within the network if a gateway router fails. First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) provide redundant default gateways for end devices with no additional end-user configuration necessary. By using a FHRP, two or more routers can share the same virtual IP address and MAC address and can act as a single virtual router. Hosts on the network are configured with a shared IP address as their default gateway. In this activity, we will configure Cisco’s Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), which is an FHRP. We will configure HSRP on routers, which serve as the default gateways for the hosts on LAN 1 and LAN 2. When we configure HSRP, we will create a virtual gateway that uses the same default gateway address for hosts in both LANs. If one gateway router becomes unavailable, the second router will take over using the same default gateway address that was used by the first router. Because the hosts on the LANs are configured with the IP address of the virtual gateway as the default gateway, the hosts will regain connectivity to remote networks after HSRP activates the remaining router. We will be configuring Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) to provide redundant default gateway devices to hosts on LANs. After configuring HSRP, we will test the configuration to verify that hosts are able to use the redundant default gateway if the current gateway device becomes unavailable. Configure an HSRP active router, Configure an HSRP standby router, and Verify HSRP operation.
