The Redundancy Protocols Masterclass

Ensure High Availability with HSRP, VRRP & GLBP

What you'll learn

Learn how to configure and verify HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP.

Understand key concepts like preemption, priority, timers, and load sharing.

Compare protocol behaviors and choose the right one for specific network designs.

Practice hands-on labs to confidently troubleshoot and optimize high availability setups.

Requirements

Students should have a basic understanding of networking concepts and CLI navigation — ideally at the Network+ or CCNA level — to get the most out of this course.

Description

Welcome to the Redundancy Protocols Masterclass — your ultimate guide to mastering high availability using HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP! In this hands-on course, you'll dive deep into the essential First Hop Redundancy Protocols that keep networks resilient, scalable, and always online.From foundational concepts to advanced configurations, you’ll learn how to deploy, verify, and troubleshoot redundancy in IPv4 environments. We’ll break down and compare protocol behaviors, walk through real-world scenarios, and guide you through step-by-step CLI labs that reinforce core concepts and help you prepare for Cisco certifications.You’ll explore load sharing, timers, preemption, priorities, and understand when and why to use each protocol in enterprise-grade networks. You'll also learn key design tips to implement these protocols efficiently and securely.Whether you’re studying for a certification, prepping for a job interview, or want to bulletproof your network designs, this course will give you the confidence and technical skillset to lead with high availability.Whether you’re looking to pass your Cisco certification, sharpen your redundancy game, or become the go-to engineer for fault-tolerant network design, this masterclass will give you the confidence and technical edge you need to stand out.Join the masterclass and take your network uptime to the next level!
