R1 and R2 attach to the same Ethernet VLAN, with subnet 10.1.19.0/25, with addresses 10.1.19.1 and 10.1.19.2, respectively, configured with the ip address interface subcommand. The routers use an FHRP. Host A and host B attach to the same LAN and have correct default router settings per the FHRP configuration. Which of the following statements is true for this LAN?
- The design breaks IPv4 addressing rules because two routers cannot connect to the same LAN subnet.
- If one router fails, neither host can send packets off-subnet.
- If one router fails, both hosts will use the one remaining router as a default router.
- If one router fails, only one of the two hosts will still be able to send packets off-subnet.
Explanation: The use of an FHRP in this design purposefully allows either router to fail and still support off-subnet traffic from all hosts in the subnet. Both routers can attach to the same LAN subnet per IPv4 addressing rules.
