The demand for highly reliable and redundant network is increasing with the enormous spread of complex network. But the complexity reduces the reliability of the network as failure of any device or link may cause great harm to the network. To overcome these problems a network has been designed for multiple VLANs with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Fast Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP), where STP ensures Layer 2 redundancy and FHRP ensures Layer 3 redundancy. The performance of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and three popular redundancy protocols of First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRP) includes Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) have been observed. The results of the research implies that STP and FHRP is 100% reliable for the network as there was no packet loss in case of device or link failure. HSRP consumes less time than VRRP and GLBP. VRRP takes slightly less time than GLBP and it was the most stable.
