Which two commands could be issued on R1 to verify the HSRP group, priority, and state of a Cisco IOS router? (Choose two.)
- show hsrp brief
- show standby
- show standby detail
- show standby brief
- show hsrp
Explanation: To verify the configuration and operational status of the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) on a Cisco IOS router, the following two commands are primarily used:
- show standby: This command provides a detailed look at the HSRP status. It displays the HSRP group number, the current state (such as Active or Standby), the virtual IP and MAC addresses, and the priority of the router. It also includes information on timers and whether pre-emption is enabled.
- show standby brief: This command offers a condensed, tabular summary of the HSRP information. It is highly useful for quickly verifying the Group, Priority, State, and the IP addresses of the Active and Standby routers for all HSRP-enabled interfaces on the device.
The other options provided, such as show hsrp or show hsrp brief, do not follow the standard Cisco IOS syntax for HSRP verification as described in the sources. While "show standby detail" exists in some Cisco software versions, the sources specifically highlight show standby and its brief counterpart as the primary verification tools.
