Which command can be used to verify the status of HSRP on the Cisco IOS router?

  • show interface hsrp
  • show failover
  • show standby
  • show standby router
  • show hsrp

Explanation: The primary command used to verify the status, state, and configuration of the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) on a Cisco IOS router is show standby. This command provides comprehensive information about HSRP groups, including the virtual IP address, the virtual MAC address, and the current HSRP state (such as Active, Standby, or Listen).

If a network administrator needs a condensed summary of all HSRP groups on the device, they can use the show standby brief command. This summary typically includes the interface, group number, priority, pre-emption status, local state, and the IP addresses of both the active and standby routers. Additionally, show standby is used to verify advanced HSRP features, such as interface and object tracking or configured authentication methods.
