In computer networking, the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) is a Cisco proprietary redundancy protocol for establishing a fault-tolerant default gateway, and has been described in detail in (RFC 2281 ). The protocol establishes a framework between network routers in order to achieve default gateway failover if the primary gateway becomes inaccessible,〔(Avoiding HSRP Configuration Errors )〕 in close association with a rapid-converging routing protocol like EIGRP or OSPF. HSRP routers send multicast ''Hello'' messages to other routers to notify them of their priorities (which router is preferred) and current status (''Active'' or ''Standby''). The primary router with the highest configured priority will act as a ''virtual'' router with a pre-defined gateway IP address and will respond to the ARP / ND request from machines connected to the LAN with a virtual MAC address. If the primary router should fail, the router with the next-highest priority would take over the gateway IP address and answer ARP requests with the same MAC address, thus achieving transparent default gateway failover. In the virtual MAC address, Xs represent the group ID in hex. HSRP is not a routing protocol as it does not advertise IP routes or affect the routing table in any way. HSRP has the ability to trigger a failover if one or more interfaces on the router go down. This can be useful for dual branch routers each with a single link back to the gateway. If the link of the primary router goes down, the backup router will take over the primary functionality and thus retain connectivity to the gateway. ==See also== * Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - standards-based alternative to HSRP * Gateway Load Balancing Protocol - Cisco proprietary router redundancy solution providing load balancing * Common Address Redundancy Protocol - open source, patent-free and unrestricted alternative to HSRP and VRRP * First Hop Redundancy Protocols - List of default gateway redundancy protocols 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hot Standby Router Protocol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
