HSRP VRRP GLBP

The document summarizes several protocols that provide default gateway redundancy: Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP). HSRP is Cisco proprietary while VRRP is an open standard, and GLBP supports load balancing in addition to redundancy. The document provides configuration examples and parameters for each protocol.
