Q

Re-election will only occur if the active router is ___.

A

removed

29
Q

By default, the HSRP active router will lose its status only if the following occurs:

A
  • HSRP enabled interface fails

* HSRP router itself fails

30
Q

Other mechanisms to trigger HSRP active router election are as follows:

A
  • HSRP native interface tracking

* Object tracking

31
Q

What is interface tracking?

A

When the active routers priority is automatically decremented when an interface fails.

32
Q

How is inteface tracking configured?

A
  • Configure standby group
  • Configure priority (default 100)
  • Configure pre-emption on all devices within HSRP group
  • Configure the tracked interfaces and decrement (default is 10) – standby 10 track interface 20
33
Q

How is tracking disabled?

no standby group track

34
Q

How do you verify the state of tracked interface?

A

Show track track_number

35
Q

How do you verify if tracking is configured?

A

show standby

36
Q

How is load sharing achieved with HSRP?

A

With Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP). Configure the same L3 switch to be both the spanning tree root for a VLAN and HSRP active router.

37
Q

What are the two types of HSRP authentication that can be set?

A

Plaintext and MD5 (preferred)

38
Q

What protocols does HSRP v1 support?

A

IPv4

39

What protocols doest HSRP v2 support?

A

IPv4, IPv6

40

What is the group range for HSRP v1?

A

0-255

41
Q

What is the group range for HSRP v2?

A

0-4095

42
Q

What is the virtual MAC address of HSRP v1?

A

0000.0c07.acXX

43
Q

What is the virtual MAC address of HSRP v2?

A

0000.0c9f.fXXX

44
Q

What is the multicast address of HSRP v1?

A

224.0.0.2

45
Q

What is the multicast address of HSRP v2?

A

224.0.0.102

46
Q

What is the default version of HSRP?

A

Version 1

47
Q

How is HSRP v2 enabled?

A

standby X version 2

48
Q

All devices in a HSRP group must have the __ configured otherwise hello messages are not understood

A

version

49
Q

What are some features of VRRP?

A
  • Open standard
  • Uses plaintext or MD5 authentication
  • Configuration identical to HSRP
  • Verify using show vrrp command
50
Q

What is the default group number for VRRP?

A

there isn’t one, it must be specified unlike HSRP

51
Q

VRRP: if you use one of the router IP addresses as the virtual IP address, priorities are __ for electing the master.

A

ignored

52
Q

VRRP has ___ enabled by default, compared to HSRP that has __ disabled default.

A

premption

53
Q

A VRRP group has one __ device and multiple __ devices

A

master, backup

54
Q

VRRP differs from HSRP in that it allows you to use an address of one of the __ VRRP group members as the virtual IP address.

A

physical

55
Q

The __ is the only device that sends advertisements (analogous to HSRP hellos).

A

master

56
Q

Advertisements are sent to the the multicast address ___ with protocol number __.
