Implementing HSRP in the Enterprise Network
Overview The scope of enterprise networking encompasses all networking locations that a business uses to reach its customers and supply products or services. Within the enterprise network, attention has focused on two separate environments, the wide-area network and the campus network, and network architects have been successful in providing a nonstop infrastructure for both environments. One of the greatest challenges that remains, however, is extending this level of redundancy between workstations and network equipment at the session level. Cisco Systems has been providing end-to-end solutions within the internetworking arena and, with the availability of the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) can remove this last hurdle of resiliency within the enterprise network.
