UMGC – Spring 2021 CMIT-455 CCNP ENCOR v8 Chapter #15 Supplement: Multigroup HSRP (Multiple VLANs)

In this supplemental video tutorial for Chapter #15 we take a closer look at how to load balance traffic using Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP). In this video we examine how to configure MHSRP to load balance traffic for multiple (2) VLANss and see how easy it is to configure multiple HSRP groups on a sub-interfaces. We also discuss the use case considerations between using a single physical interface carved into sub-interfaces (router-on-a-stick) versus dedicating a single physical interface for each VLAN (not very scalable!). Enjoy!

***This video is an in-depth tutorial and is far more than simply an answer key to the aforementioned Packet Tracer activity. This tutorial is being made to assist my UMGC CMIT-455 learners in their journey through the ENCOR v8 material so, if you are just looking for a shortcut or easy answers for the activity, this is not the video you should watch. However, if you are looking to gain a deeper understanding on inter-VLAN routing configuration and designs, my hope is that this will increase your comprehension and help you to become a better and more effective network engineer. Enjoy!

*This techtorial/Packet Tracer activity is all done running Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) v2.1.1-b19, some physical routers in my Evil Command Center Lab and/or Packet Tracer version 7.3.1.0362 (for the Mac) which was just recently released! The MINIMUM version you can use for any of the new CCNAv8 curriculum activities is Packet Tracer v7.3.0! Be sure to leave your feedback and questions below and I hope I have earned the privilege of your time!
