Gateway Redundancy With FHRP

The Gateway Redundancy with FHRP course provides a detailed and practical understanding of First Hop Redundancy Protocols, focusing on HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP. Learners will understand how these protocols help maintain reliable default-gateway availability and minimize network downtime in enterprise environments. The course explains the purpose and operation of each protocol, including election processes, protocol states, timers, authentication, failover behavior, and load-sharing capabilities. It also covers key features such as object tracking and preemption, showing how they influence gateway redundancy and improve network resilience. Through configuration-based examples and real IOS verification commands, learners will gain hands-on knowledge of how to implement, verify, and troubleshoot FHRP on Cisco devices. This course is ideal for network engineers who want to design and maintain stable, redundant Layer 3 campus networks.

Course Instructor

Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
