HSRP is primarily used for fault tolerance, but it can be used for load balancing. If you configure two HSRP groups with the routers as primary in one group, and standby in the other, you will achieve fault tolerance and load balancing.

Isn't HSRP used more for fault tolerance than it is for load balancing?
Actually, I've never even heard of the two (HSRP and Load balancing) going

know where I am confused.
