Explanation
HSRP is a First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) developed by Cisco that provides high availability for the default gateway or first hop router in a network. It allows multiple routers to work together as a virtual router, sharing the same IP address as the default gateway. When the primary router or interface fails, HSRP quickly detects the failure and automatically transitions to a backup router, ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow.
