I designed a virtual network that utilizes HSRP or Hot Standby Router Protocol. The active router fails, the standby router is there to ensure stability.

This is my project that I did utilizing Cisco Packet Tracer. Although this is not me doing a project relating to troubleshooting physical networks, this project relates to troubleshooting networks, virtually.
I designed a virtual network that utilizes HSRP or Hot Standby Router Protocol. HSRP is a Cisco proprietary protocol designed to ensure high availability by providing a virtual default gateway for hosts on a LAN. It allows multiple routers to work together to present the illusion of a single virtual router to the hosts on the LAN. If the active router fails, the standby router automatically takes over, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
I decided to use my imagination to design this project. I said to my self "What if there's a company that has a network that utilizes just HSRP to maintain uninterrupted network connectivity?" That's when I would come in to see if I can help design a network that fits their needs.
