Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is a Cisco-proprietary First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP). This lesson maps to the following ICND2 syllabus requirements: Today you will learn about the following: First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) provide redundancy in switched LAN environments. All network segments must be resilient to recover quickly enough for faults to be transparent to users and network applications.
HA is technology delivered in Cisco IOS software that enables networkwide resilience to increase IP network availability. High Availability (HA) is an integral component when designing and implementing switched networks.
