= Purpose of HSRP =
 
The purpose of HSRP is to ensure network connectivity in case of Router or access circuit failure, by having one or more ''standby'' Router(s) waiting to take over from the failing ''active'' Router.
 
 
 
= Other high availability Router protocols =
 
*GLBP [[Gateway Load Balancing Protocol]]
 
*VRRP [[Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol]]
 
 
 
= How does HSRP work =
 
HSRP works by two or more Routers agreeing upon which Router serves the ''virtual Router''.
 
== The Virtual Router ==
 
{|
 
| The Virtual Router is a MAC-address and a IP Address the ''active'' Router serves beside its configured IP address. If the ''active'' Router fails one of the ''standby'' Routers becomes the Virtual Router by serving the virtual MAC-address and IP Address.
 
== HSRP example ==
 
In picture 1 three Routers R1,R2 and R3 are setup in a HSRP Group. The Virtual IP address 10.0.0.1 and virtual MAC-Address 00-10-0C-07-AC-0A are served by the active Router R1. R1 continuesly transmits hello packets to the standby Routers.<br/>
 
If the Active Router fails one of the ''standby'' Routers will become the active Router and start serving the Virtual IP address 10.0.0.1 and the virtual MAC-address 00-10-0C-07-AC-0A.
