What is the purpose of HSRP in a network?

The purpose of HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) in a network is to provide redundancy and high availability for the default gateway. It allows multiple routers to work together in a group, with one router acting as the active gateway and the others as standby gateways. If the active router fails, one of the standby routers will take over as the new active gateway, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
