Understanding Layer 3 Redundancy
What does IGP stand for?
Interior Gateway Protocol
What are IGPs used for?
The exchange or routing information within an autonomous system.
What are common IGPs?
RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS
What does FHRP stand for?
First Hop Redundancy Protocol
What are three common FHRPs?
HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
What does HSRP stand for?
Hot Standby Router Protocol
What RFC defines HSRP?
RFC 2281
What is HSRP?
A Cisco proprietary FHRP designed to create a redundancy framework between network routers or switches in order to achieve default gateway failover.
How many active routers forward traffic when using HSRP?
One
What does VRRP stand for?
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
Which FHRP is an open standard?
VRRP
How many active routers forward traffic when using VRRP?
One
What does GLBP stand for?
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol
How many active routers forward traffic when using GLBP?
Multiple routers can be active and load balance traffic.
Is GLBP an open standard or Cisco proprietary
Cisco proprietary
What indicates to the standby router that a route has failed to the active router?
The standby router stops receiving hello messages from the active router.
What happens when the standby router stops receiving hello messages from the active router?
The standby router assumes the role of active (forwarding) router
What information does the standby router begin using once it becomes the active router?
The IP and MAC address of the virtual router.
What RFC defines HSRP?
RFC 2281
What RFC defines VRRP?
RFC 5798
What do you call a group of routers in the same HSRP group?
Hot Standby Router Group
How many routers are active (forwarding traffic) in an HSRP group?
One
