[Sara Alamin]

Hi All.
Happy New year , Wish you all the best :) 
Today I was reading about interesting topic and it was new for me it is : HSRP.

What will happen if you lost your gateway?how can you access the internet ?Can you Configure your PC or your servers with multiple gateways? how can you provide a backup gateway for your customers?...

Hot standby routing protocol (HSRP) sets up a virtual IP address between two routers (could be more) to provide layer 3 fault tolerance for customers using a default gate way.
