FHRP—HSRP Multiple Group Optimization

---

The FHRP—HSRP Multiple Group Optimization feature improves the negotiation and maintenance of multiple Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) groups configured on a subinterface. Only one HSRP group is required on a physical interface for the purposes of electing active and standby routers. This group is known as the master group. Other HSRP groups may be created on each subinterface and linked to the master group via the group name. These linked HSRP groups are known as client or follow groups.
