Chapter 10 Student 12

Question 1

Your in the process of creating your FHRP network using two physical routers. You have your host connected to a hub, and the routers are going to the gateway. But there is something missing to make this a FHRP network. What are you missing? Pg 318

Answer 1

Virtual router with a virtual ip and virtual MAC address

Question 2

Your boss wants you to create a network with very high redundancy. He says that there is a protocol that allows us to buy as many routers as we want and let’s us configure two or more routers into a standby group that shares an IP, Mac, and default gateway. What protocol is he talking about? Pg 319

Answer 2

Hot Standby Router Protocol or HSRP

Question 3

This MAC address is special. The first 24 bits are the vendor ID. The next 16 bits are assigned by Cisco in this specific protocol. The last 8 bits are the only variable bits, and also represents the group number that you assign. What type of Mac Address is this? Pg 321

Answer 3

HSRP MAC

Question 4

Your boss wants to create a network of multiple routers, but he wants them to appear as if there was only a single logical router. We would still only have one gateway and our hosts wouldn’t even know the difference. What protocol is you ur boss talking about? Pg 317

Answer 4

First hop redundancy protocols or FHRPs
