Abstract

This thesis will analyze FHRP (First Hop Redundancy Protocols) which are three redundancy protocols of the IP Layer (layer 3). Protocols of the default gateway redundancy or FHRP are HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) which is a Cisco proprietary and is an active/standby redundancy protocol, GLBP (Gateway Load Balancing Protocol) which is an active/active redundancy protocol and also it does Load Balancing, and the last VRRP (Virtual Redundant Routing Protocol) which is typically used with non-Cisco routers (such as Juniper) and is an extension of GLBP. Basically what FHRP protocols do is; they allow multiple redundant routers on the same subnet to act as a single default router (first-hop router). Layer 3 redundancy protocols were designed to keep networks 100% up and running. The focus of this thesis is the difference between the three protocols and the way they use to keep the network up and running.
