Well, Mike, everyone, hey, we finish the redundancy protocols, right? So let's just summarize really brief here HSR p with an overview of what HS RP does standby, active standby routers virtual IP address, virtual MAC address specific MAC address, you need to know how that breaks down, you're going to have the resources. So make sure that you know that VRP Well, this is Cisco proprietary VRP. It's no not vendor specific. Anybody can use it. The reason at first because this was created first then they came out with this, this had faster timers and this one for failover.
But now it doesn't really matter. They're all in milliseconds. Anyway what you got to be careful. Please be careful if you want to play with the timers not to make it so fast for it to send information out to failover and all that because it will overwhelm Your switch or router, okay, same thing we want to know, we did an overview of it, what VRP was. And then we saw a configuration the difference between this one and this one that this has mastered and backup instead of standby, or active and standby. That's the whole thing.
Gl VP on the other hand, the nice thing is that you have a true load balancing. It is Cisco proprietary, but it's a true load balancing protocol. And that was the preferred method. Round Robin. Is this guy a burn? Let me go to the next router.
Next switch, next router next question, I'm sorry, sh whatever it is, I guess the same configurations. Anyway. Just remember, in all these redundancy protocols, one thing that is crucial, that ghost IP, that virtual IP that you set on the switches or routers must be set as a default gateway on all your clients. Because if you don't, if you put the physical interface and that line goes down, Facing what's gonna happen to your client is not going to go anywhere. The whole point is to have those virtual IPS on these redundancy protocols on all the switches on all the routers. So I can go ahead and automatically switch you over because you start getting ARP requests from the other routers or switches so you can go traffic and go that way.
All right. No big deal. Easy stuff. You got this. I'll see you in the next
