Description of Cisco Hot Standby Routing Protocol fully taught + FREE book

For CCNA and CCNP exam candidates.
What you'll learn:
The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP)
How HSRP is configured on the CLI
How to troubleshoot HSRP
How to test HSRP fail-over
Requirements:
Have Packet-Tracer, GNS3, or some other network simulation app installed so you can build a lab with me.
No pre-knowledge of networking needed. Everything is explained in plain English. Just follow along with me.
Description:
In this course, you will learn one of the most important protocols for redundancy: HSRP, the Hot Standby Routing Protocol. It is called "hot standby" because the backup routers are powered on and are functioning as normal. But in the HSRP environment, only one router is the Active Gateway for its network.This redundancy provides fail-over in case the primary gateway router malfunctions or otherwise becomes unavailable. As such, this course is vital to anyone wanting to pass their CCNA, CCNP, or Network+ certification exams, because redundancy is an important part of network engineering.Plus I will teach you something most other instructors do not teach: I will teach you how to test your HSRP environment by intentionally disabling the network, step-by-step, so you understand how everything works. This course includes:How to set up a lab in Packet-TracerHow to assign static IPv4 addressesCreating two contiguous subnetworks to be our LANsHow to assign a default gateway to a LANHow to verify (test) your configurationshow to configure the Hot Standby Routing Protocol on multiple routers and LANsWhat a virtual gateway IP address is and how to create itHow to verify (test) your HSRP configurationsNew specific HSRP show commands that may appear on your examHow to test HSRP by intentionally disabling part of the networkTwo quizzes to test your knowledge A review of HSRP's key featuresThis course also includes a FREE copy of my book "On the Command Line" featuring 100 of the most common configurations you will encounter in the real world of network engineering, and often found on the CCNA, CCNP, and Network+ exams.
Who this course is for:
