Hello, and welcome. My name is Keith Barker.
And I'd like you to imagine that you've gotten in your car, you're leaving your
house,
you go to the end of your street and normally at the end of the street,
the intersection where you make a left or a right,
let's imagine it's all blocked off. There's no left, there's no right,
you can't go any further. Obviously, that's a problem because we're not going
to get too far
if we can't get off our local street. Well, the same problem happens with
computers
all over the planet if they cannot access their default gateway.
It's sort of like the intersection that gets them off of their local street so WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
It's sort of like the intersection that gets them off of their local street so
packets can be
routed to the given destinations. And because the computer's default gateway is
so important,
there's a whole family of protocols to help with redundancy for that first hop
or that first
router interface that clients use to get off their local networks. And this
category of protocols
is known as FHRP's or first hop redundancy protocols. So in this set of videos
and in the skill,
you and I get to take a look at three major examples of FHRP's and we'll walk
through the configuration
and verification of each of them. And at the end of the set of videos, I'll put WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
and verification of each of them. And at the end of the set of videos, I'll put
you my friend on
the hands-on labs so you can practice with them yourself. So when you're ready,
join me in the next
video. We'll take a big picture of luck in the world of first hop redundancy
protocols.
