What happens to a host in an HSRP network when the active router fails?

  • The host initiates a new ARP request.
  • The host stops seeing hello messages from the active router.
  • The host uses the standby router IP and MAC addresses.
  • The host will notice little or no disruption of service.

Explanation: When the active router fails, the standby router stops seeing hello messages, assumes the role of the forwarding router, and the host devices see no disruption in service.
