What is Cisco vPC: Benefits, Components, Config & Best Practices
What is Cisco vPC and its brief History What is Cisco vPC (virtual Port Channel), and how has normal port-channel evolved to this point? Let us understand port-channel first; it is the simplest and oldest technology that combines two or more interfaces. In return, it gives the benefits like load balancing across links, redundancy in case any link goes down, increased bandwidth since you combined two or more links, and a single spanning-tree view of the links. However, these benefits come at the cost of connecting all the links within a bundle to a single device. And if that single device…

HSRP vs VRRP vs GLBP – A Quick Guide
Which one to use while deciding between HSRP vs VRRP vs GLBP? This is really a matter of the type of equipment at your disposal, network design complexity, or sometimes personal preference. I already wrote articles explaining HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP separately. All three are First Hop Redundancy Protocols and network layer protocols and are used to provide redundancy in the network. The main difference is that VRRP is industry-standard while HSRP and GLBP are Cisco-proprietary protocols. VRRP and HSRP target a single router to be the active one in a group, whereas GLBP can distribute the responsibility among up…

How to configure VRRP on Cisco Devices – With Video and Quiz
What is VRRP, Why we use it, and How to configure it on Cisco devices? Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is an open standard FHRP (First Hop Redundancy Protocol) defined in RFC-5798. VRRP on Cisco devices can be configured to provide fault tolerance and redundancy at the network layer by quickly detecting and responding to router failures. It is designed to create redundancy in the network, especially when a router/switch or a layer 3 node serving as the default gateway for LAN users fails. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol operates on the principle of a group of routers, or hosts, participating…

HSRP Config – The Definitive Guide with Video, Diagrams, Configs, and Quiz
What is HSRP, Why do we use it, and How to do HSRP config on Cisco Router? HSRP is an FHRP (First Hop Redundancy Protocol) developed by Cisco to provide redundancy and high network availability almost anywhere in the network where we have two layer3 devices. HSRP config gives a group of routers a virtual IP address and a virtual MAC address to look like one router. If one router doesn’t work, the other router can be the default gateway. The virtual router does not exist; it is merely a target for routers to provide backup to one another. One router…

Router on the Stick Configuration – Enterprise and Service Provider Example
The router on the stick configuration is a powerful and easy way to design your network. This method makes it very easy to add additional equipment to your network without the need to run a direct cable from your user device to the layer3 capable device. It is a networking terminology used to represent a layer3 device and a layer 2 switch where a single physical cable directly connects them. Here switch is a Layer 2 switch with multiple VLANs, and the router has all layer 3 IPs, and it handles all inter-VLAN communication. The port on the switch side…
